Notes This rhyming poem appears to compare the actions of Saddam Hussein and George W. Bush during the War on Terror. In the poem, statement about the war are made, such as 'Control these people!', and the intention of the poem is to show that either Hussein or Bush could have made these statements. The poem appears to comment on the culpability of war - on both sides - by throwing the righteous nature of the American's War on Terror and invasion of Iraq into doubt.
