SOWING AND REAPING - PART 3 OF 4

To a "precarious" world in a most "precarious predicament"!
Disenfranchisement of the people, the court put my heir on the throne
This was an opportunity to be sure and pick Saddam's bone,
The world was at peace and prosperity was on the boom
But we are from the Wild West, so it was time for high-noon

Despite despotism in so many places that threatened world peace
We must tinker with no one but Saddam in the Middle-East,
Korea's challenge with jet fighters to our reconnaissance plane
We brushed it off, exclaiming that those axis are nothing but vain

Now that we are in power, it was time for the United Nations hour
We demanded a resolution that Saddam must honor,
Amazed, we saw unfettered access and reasonable cooperation
Iraq's Al Sammouds missiles, more than half in ruin and destruction

I said to my heir, the resolution was not supposed to work
He promised to contend that Saddam's cooperation was a joke,
My son it is not peace we must have but rather war with that man
Because the pride I lost in 1992 was the fault of Saddam

Take the road to Baghdad in the name of ministrations and liberations
For who will dare stop this sole's power intentions,
We have the most sophisticated weaponry and best trained marines
All Saddam has is his republican guards and the Fedayeens...
