Ed: Did you ever get nukes you wanted?

Saddam: Not ones I originally wanted for my missiles. But I have bought quite a few neat little portable models. Osama split an order with me.

Ed: You've been talking with Osama? I thought you were enemies.

Saddam: Like I was saying, Operation Iraqi Freedom changed a lot of things. We will probably never sit and drink tea together, but our conversation has been cordial and productive. He doesn't need half funding that frozen assets represent, but I told him I'm ready to contribute anything he doesn't want traced. Did I tell you I am rich?

Ed: I believe you did. What does Osama think of your disguise?

Saddam: He thought it was clever. He asked if I'd send him my surgeon.

Ed: Did you?

Saddam: Yes. They met at a Swiss hospital a couple months ago. I asked him to send me a picture. He hasn't sent one.

Ed: So how come you didn't leave Iraq when President Bush said you could have safe passage out?

Saddam: He would have tried to kill me. And I'm not used to being told what to do. You understand. I thought it would be much safer if I waited a while and I thought it would be good to be seen by friends in Iraq. If I had left when President suggested, it would have looked like I was a coward, a scared rabbit. Why would I want to do that? Friends needed my moral support and I wanted to give it - can't just run out on my friends. Would President Bush do that?

Ed: Not on his special friends anyway. So what is Osama doing for you?

Saddam: You have heard that there are now members of Al Qaeda fighting in Iraq? They bombed U.N. headquarters last month. I heard they are moving in a few thousand each month. They are well trained so they don't need a lot of them to get work done. They could hardly wait to get to Iraq. My friends are in touch with them and they will be attacking with increasing frequency. The non Iraqi civilian workers will have to leave, over next few months, for lack of security. There won't be any Iraqi police in a few months either.

Ed: I got a hunch just following daily news that could be case.

Saddam: Ed, my dinner is on table, so I'll call you back in a few weeks. We'll discuss news.

Ed: Thanks for calling, Saddam. I look forward to hearing from you again.

"These are very things that cause hatred, oppression, frustration, injustice, mistrust, fear, and enmity, which make Inferno, our son, to terrorize you. But remove causes of all these cankerworms, and you will see that we will not exist anymore, and Inferno will not attack your lands. Then world will be like The Golden City. It is only then that you will have Love, Peace, Freedom, Justice, Equality, Dignity, and Trust.

"That was what winged-man in white meant when he said to destroy us. The man speaks in parables. Now, you are chasing shadows—fighting effect instead of cause, symptom and not disease. Since you did not understand, or refused to understand meaning of message, and come shooting and bombing at us—the wrong targets—instead of solving world's problems, we are going to give you double trouble."

Going on, Hatred tells kings of Orient and Occident to prepare for last war. Because they have caused more problems than solutions for themselves with their weapons. Because war is not road map for peace. And because man himself is problem, and not solution.

Then bombshell! He says that kings should gather all their cinema, film, and moviemakers, and ask them to suggest apocalyptic scenarios. For world is going to end with worst case ever imagined. The world, he says, is now a more dangerous place than it was before Operation Hell Fire and search for weapons of mass destruction. Finally, Hatred, leader of seven devils, says that belligerent kings, Sunrise and Sunset, have sown wind in country of Devil, and must therefore reap Devil's whirlwind. After saying this, he disappears with other deadly spirits, laughing. . . .
