A simple idea creates a powerful and surprising movie.

Here is the idea: take George W. Bush's "Axis of Evil," cut it up word by word, and then put it into alphabetical order. We see all of Bush's unique facial gestures, his moments of aggression and assertion, and his odd attempts at humor.

With Bush's words split up in such a scientific way, the viewer is offered a unique and powerful perspective on the phenomena that he represents.
