Saddam Was A Good Guy
(Sung to the tune "I May Be Wrong")

He was a good guy
When Reagan sold him arms,
But such a bad guy
When Poppy waged war.

Again a good guy
When Cheney dealt with him,
But indespicable
When I gave him what for.

Why is there misunderstanding?
A sale, or a cat by the tail –
To Texans it's like gerrymanding,
But done on a lovelier scale.

We love dictators when
They help us make a buck, but
Let them go for something more,
They'll curse their luck.
