Obviously about the Iraq conflict, and the soldiers who died in it.
I think the line: "The sins of the father atoned by the son" is about George Bush, trying to finish what his daddy started.
The line: "The unknowing tyrant walks to the rope" , is about how the soldiers are led to believe that they are fighting (and dying) to liberate the people of Iraq and that they will therefore be embraced as saviours, when in reality, the opposite is true. the US/Uk soldiers are viewed, by the people of Iraq, with fear and as the reason that members of their families are dead.
