The article examines the attribution of a famous quote suggesting that U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt referred to Nicaraguan dictator Anastasio Somoza García as “a son of a bitch, but he's our son of a bitch.” The authenticity of Roosevelt’s said phrase is uncertain, with historians debating whether he ever uttered it. The statement has become a symbol of how geopolitical alliances often overlook the morality of allied dictators, emphasizing strategic interests over ethics. The article also explores similar attributions to other U.S. presidents and dictators, ultimately suggesting that the phrase may have been invented by Somoza himself to appear supportive of U.S. backing.
