  • Osama's fate: an embellished chat...


    toreibjo:   Tell me about your fantasies regarding the punishment of Osama.


    notforprophet:  Well, I have a very strange fate for him.


    toreibjo:   Explain - if I may be so straight forward to ask..


    notforprophet:   Most people would not appreciate my vision...but I'll try to convey it to you…


    Capture him.  Transport him blindfolded and clueless to an incarceration facility.  A cell...anywhere...perhaps one especially constructed for him below the ruins of the World Trade Center.  But with no daylight...no night...no nothing. 


    Yet once a day, he gets a visitor. 


    I walk in and up to a table unarmed--no weapons.  I pull up a chair and sit...and just stare...and stare...one hour...two hours...  Just stare at him.  Then I get up and leave.  Next day, the same…and the same and the same for an endless slew of days to follow.  


    If at anytime he wants to make a move on me, I’m ready.  Maybe he'll read in my eyes that what I really want is hand-to-hand combat to death.  But I don't make the first move.  I wait for him...and stare...expressionless. 


    Then one day, after he begins to show cracks of disorientation from continued isolation, I walk in, sit across from him as always, stare, and after about an hour finally speak and ask him: "Do you have any idea  what's going on in the world anymore?"   Regardless of his response, inform him:  "It's better that you don't--ever."  Then I'd pull out a pistol—a Colt 9mm Commander—and position it exactly between us.  And finally smile with that smile that pleads "make my day ."   And then wait to see what he does.  Does he make a move?  I know I'm faster.


    But if he doesn't make that move and end it for himself right there—by my hand or his own (i.e., getting the pistol and putting to his own head)—then he'll live always with this regret:  I'll pick up the pistol and walk out.  And he'll never see me again—or any other living creature for the rest of his natural life.  He'd have that one chance to die—or remember it forever as his very last contact with humanity.  


    I'd rather destroy his terror-spirit than his body.


    Hey, we could even have this all fed live by hidden camera on TV so the whole world could watch him seal his own fate either by his ill-challenge for the pistol or his own moment of inaction leading to an unsuspected, unexplained terminal isolation.   In fact, the TV commentator could reveal to the world the strategy I'd use before the action-challenge is actually made, telling everyone what Osama's options will be,  and the to-death isolation fate he'll condemn himself to if he chooses inactivity.   The commentator would speak in kind of in a quiet whisper, like a golf sports announcer, "Okay...here's what's going to happen…this is going to be good…"


    Better than the suspense on any imaginable "Survivor"!
