Will all Axis of Evilists sing in harmony?

Settled as Neither says something nice

At least, we've found no news stories saying otherwise.

Background:

Background: In recent days America, ok President Obama primarily, has been lauded, complimented or otherwise appreciated by an unusual cast of characters including Russia, Cuba, and Libya.

Just wondering will the heads of state in Iran and North Korea also have something nice to say about President Obama's policies by the end of 2009?

It's all very odd to me

Settlement details:As reported by a major mainstream news source.

Hugo Chavez: Smell of sulphur replaced with whiff of hope at UN
The smell of hope has replaced that of sulphur at the United Nations, Hugo Chavez, the Venezuelan president, said on Thursday as he compared Barack Obama favourably to his predecessor, George W. Bush.

Addressing the UN in New York for the first time since he called Mr Bush a "devil" three years ago, Mr Chavez, a fierce Left-wing critic of America, made an hour-long speech that was almost as rambling as that delivered by Col Muammar Gaddafi a day earlier.
"The smell of sulphur is gone. It smells of hope," he said, adding cheekily that Mr Obama should "come over to the socialist side...come join the axis of evil over here".
