Instead of multilateral, I propose a new word that more accurately represents the intended meaning: evilateral. The point of "multilateralism" isn't just to get more countries involved, it's to get the evil folks on board.

Good idea. Here are a few other suggestions:
Microlateral
Chad and the Maldive Islands are critical to success.
Sociolateral or
Liberolateral
Legitimacy is achieved only if Leftist governments are part of the coalition.
Islamolateral
Must have support from the leading Islamic countries.
Contralateral
Coalitions must consist of a majority of countries that hate America.
Nice! I wonder if I'm the first person to come up with this meme? I haven't seen it elsewhere.
I dunno, if ONLY evil countries are on board, that doesn't strike me as very multilateral, either. Picture some shady deal between the two remaining members of the Axis of Evil. Evilateral? You bet. Multilateral? Hardly.
For an idea to be "multilateral" in my book, it not only has to have some evil countries on board; it also has to be a good enough idea to be acceptable to at least one good country, preferably my own.
