Over the years we have taken out a grand total of two bad guys, out of a world full of bad guys. Saddam and bin Laden are now gone, and Khaddafi is in the crosshairs, but not North Korea’s Kim nor Syria’s Assad, nor any member of the ruling Chinese Communist party, not to mention petty African dictators who routinely kill and imprison and torture their own people who dare to disagree with them. Are we in the business of taking out bad guys or are we not? Well, it depends.
Why are there some too bad to live
While others even worse
Escape the settlement we give
A short ride in a hearse
It seems a crazy way to deal
With nutcakes like the Nork
Or could it be they just might feel
Like nuking our New York
The Chicoms kill more people than
The rest of world combined
And yet we hail their five year plan
No problems do we find
It all rests on whose ox is gored
Some bad guys are our friends
Why are some taken off the board
We shrug, say it depends
