Bush unite?
Well, that's a laugh –
What's he done but split in half?

That's for us,
But in Iraq
He's on a more ambitious track.
Instead of two, he'll make them three:
The Kurds, the Shia and Sunni.

First allow a civil war.
"That's better than they had before."
And better for the occupier,
Unless he's caught in their crossfire.

Then recall the National Guard
For civil wars in his backyard.
Civil wars he's helped ignite –
Blue vs. red; left vs, right.

One side assumes he's doing great.
The other is consumed with hate.
One side says to carry on.
The other knows what's going on.

One side buys his siren song.
The other knows his "right" is wrong!
