Bush’s axis of evil will be replaced with Barack Obama’s axis of hope, London daily the Independent writes ahead of the new U.S. president’s inauguration. A cartoon in the Sunday Times shows Obama as Superman holding the earth in his hand, with a caption reading, “Are we expecting too much?” Obama era: Are we expecting too much The Independent on Sunday writes that Obama is nervous regarding his inaugural speech on Tuesday, the BBC says. The daily states that Obama’s arrival to the White House marks a “new dawn of a new political leadership.” The countries that have traditionally had tough relations with the U.S. are preparing for the post-Bush era. North Korea stated that it has "enough enriched plutonium for four atomic bombs", but also sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. calling for “intimate friendship” between the countries. Brazil hopes that the new American government will improve relations with South American leftists, while Arab leaders expect Obama to abandon Bush’s "policy of confrontation". The most careful words have come from Russia’s Vladimir Putin, however. Even though the prime minister complemented Obama’s honesty and openness, he said that Moscow is waiting to see what Obama will decide regarding the planned U.S. anti-missile shield in Europe, Ukraine and Georgia's NATO bids – all pushed by Bush, and fiercely opposed by Russia. One of the rare countries that will be sorry to see George Bush leave is Albania, "where he is considered a hero", the Independent writes.
