In defense of simplisme

The UK: UK minister says Iran not part of 'axis of evil'.

"Iran have not invaded any other country," the Times quoted Straw as saying Monday during the testimony.

"They [Iran] couldn't stand al-Qaeda … or the Taliban anymore than we could," said the British minister who asserted that the country's inclusion in former US President George Bush's "axis of evil" incomprehensible.

"I think it's simplistic to regard Iran as a bogeyman," Straw said.
