50 Way To Force Regime Change

As the President prepares for his State of the Union Speech, I submit this little ditty as a follow-up on his inspiring Inaugural that envisioned the end of tyranny and peace through freedom (Sorry, Paul Simon!)

50 Ways To Force Regime Change

The problem was inside Iraq, Bush said to me
The answer was easy--just to bring democracy
We swore we'd help them in their struggle to be free
There must be fifty ways to force regime change

He said it's really not my habit to intrude
And anyway, no matter what my meaning's misconstrued
But I'll repeat myself at the risk of being rude
There must be fifty ways to force regime change
Fifty ways to force regime change

We can ignore every whim, Kim
Better stop being bad, Assad
Just go to hell, Fidel
And all will be free
Get a new man, Iran
You'll find you can't ban spam
Let everyone be, Kofi
And embrace liberty

He said it grieves me so to generate dislike
There are so many ways for them to stop my strike
And then he just explained it as if talking to a tyke
About the fifty ways

He said why don't you-all just listen to my speech
And I'll try not to make that Boxer child screech
And then he just proceeded to discuss them each to each
There must be fifty ways to force regime change
Fifty ways to force regime change

We can ignore every whim, Kim
Better stop being bad, Assad
Just go to hell, Fidel
And all will be free
Get a new man, Iran
You really can't ban spam
Let everyone be, Kofi
And embrace liberty
