get to work.”

“If you will permit, some questions for clarification, your Excellency, please.”

“Yes?”

“Just between us now, do you really think this will work?” Allie questioned.

“Off the record. We will never know unless we try it.” Fazzi said after some contemplation. “However we have to try something. Nothing else has worked and the new Islamic Emirate has decided that it is time to start the process of the final Jihad. And in order to start that we must either gain complete control of all these people or eliminate them once and for all. We cannot have them running the show. While that was OK in the beginning it is not okay now. One way or the other, like that American revolutionary said 'we will all hang together or separately' or something like that. I cannot remember the exact quote but we are all in this together until the very end.”

“And if we fail?”

“We will not fail! Allah Akbar! God is great.” Fazzi said. “Between you and me-now is the time to find out if he is or isn't.”

“Again, just between the two of us, the Ba'ath party is anti religion. And Syria is controlled by that party.” Allie said. “How come we are so involved with the Islamic Emirate which is made up of the religious fundamentalists.”

“The Emirate is the new force sweeping the world and as Muslims we cannot avoid it nor can we fight it. We must either join it or be swept under the rug of history. Syria has chosen not only to join it, but also to lead it. Yes we allowed Iran and Iraq to take the lead, but only because we wanted the west to concentrate on them instead of us. So far the deception has been working. We have let them spend their time, manpower, energy and money fighting them. We will now pick up the parts that survive and the Emirate will be the controlling power in the world.” Fazzi explained. “That idiot, Bush, is right about a 'New World Order' being established. Only it will be the Emirate that will establish it and the beauty of the plan is that the United States is going to pay for it. We are also going to get control of the Stock Market and then force it to work for the Emirate's benefit.”

“That is one hell of a plan! But can it work?”

“Not only can it work, but it is working.” Fazzi continued. “We have started the process, now we just have to keep up the pressure. We shall be victorious. The Americans are completely confused because we are using 'American know how' and democracy to defeat them. They want democratic elections--Fine we will give them their democratic elections - Hamas in Palestine, which as you know is really lower Syria, and Hezbollah in the Lebanon, which is really western Syria.”

“The Lebanon is an independent country. Has been since…” Allie started to say,

“Since the French and English split it and Palestine off from greater Syria and tried to establish two new crusader states in our homelands.” Fazzi corrected him. “They are Muslim and if we have to kill every Maronite pig eating Christian and all the Zionists in the country to reunite that area to us-so be it. And that will be only the beginning. After that it will be the turn of Spain and Europe. France and Eastern
