POLITICS - For decades during the Cold War the Soviet Union was the devil incarnate. Inflated the threat to unbelievable levels and it was only after the fact we learned most of it was just mythology and paranoia.
During the early 1990s Iraq and Saddam Hussein became the new focus.
Following September 11th terrorism and Osama Bin Laden...
But now that both Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden are dead, who will we make the new devil? Who is the new enemy that needs to be vanquished?
Possible Baddies include:
Muammar Gaddafi / Libya
Kim Jong Il / North Korea
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad / Iran
Of course there is also the conspiracy theorists who believe Osama Bin Laden isn't really dead. There was no photos or video of Osama Bin Laden's dead body, he was buried at sea, and no proof he actually died. There were fake photos made by members of the media, but that hardly counts. People aren't going to believe it until they actually see photos and/or video of Osama Bin Laden dead.
The same thing happened with JFK and Che Guevara. Photos of their dead bodies had to be released before people could really believe it was true.
And back to the devil idea... Does the United States really need to find a villain overseas? Certainly they could villainify someone in their own backyard and improve their own country for once instead of stirring up trouble overseas.
