Silence requested in Egypt
... meeting with the marines, but this time without hearing the marines cheering for him. You will watch everything but not hear anything. I think such a day will be really wonderful. In preparation for this international day, I will pass by the zoo in order to make sure that all the animals will be silent. I will tell loins not to roar, and wolves not to howl, and horses not to neigh on Monday. I will ask all animals to be silent as turtles and ants which are always in silence. I want to see the whole country trimmed peacefully with silence, as if it is a public library with quiet visitors moving lightly. I will recommend singers to give us and give themselves a one-day rest. I will ask -famous Egyptian singer- Shaaban abdel Raheem, to not please us with his incredible songs just for that day, especially that this will not cause him any harm. First, I will ask the operator to connect me with the Arab league. "Hello, how are you, sir? I want to inform you that we have all agreed on being silent on Monday… No, do not worry sir… No one disagrees with this idea… Now…They are all silent… And silence is a true sign of agreement…Does the league agrees with silence too? Oh! Thank u sir; I am happy for hearing this". Second, I would like the operator to connect me with the reporters of satellite channel "Al Jazeera", and all reporters of other satellite channels. "Hello dear reporters… I deeply appreciate your continuous efforts… But, please, give us and give yourselves a rest for just one day? Can u do that for me? ... Oh! Thank you all so much…" Finally, I want to be put on line with our great artists. "Artists, you have all appeared on TV and cinema screens… You have protested against aggression… You have done a great job really… But I beg you all to stay silent on Monday…And you also intellectuals... I know that there are not many of you now days… Yet you too have a rest, please... and be silent on Monday. I will also ask Collin Powell to stop talking only for Monday. He could tell the US administration that he suffers from a sore throat, so that they will not ask him to talk. And for President Bush, I am sure he will not mind Powell's silence for just one day. Bush is a man of consideration. Despite the war, he everyday goes out for a walk with his wife. This reflects his true consideration of the current critical conditions. "Powell, thank you very much… and please…Report this request to Ramsfeld, because we are not quite good friends and I do not talk to him much…" "Dear Arab leaders, Quite please...Today, one of you have suggested in one of his statements that Palestine and Israel get united into one country under the name of "Isratine"…and I know that there are other plans for a union between America and Iraq, under the name of "Iraqica"… but will you all please put off your suggested plans and statements till after Monday?". Everyone in the world should go out on Monday in complete silence. People everywhere should not stop holding demonstrations, but stop cheering in demon...
