"Beware the ides of March. [says the UN] " Caesar [Sadam] replies, "He is a dreamer, let us leave him. Pass." Caesar and his train approach the Senate. He sees the soothsayer in the crowd and confidently declares, "The ides of March are come". "Ay, Caesar; but not gone", replies the soothsayer. (Act 3, SceneI) With his dying breath Caesar addresses Brutus [France], "Et tu, Brute? Then fall, Caesar!". Caesar falls lifeless upon the pedestal of Pompey's statue. Cinna [Condolezza Rice] rejoices, crying, "Liberty, Freedom! Tyranny is dead!" Antony [Bin Laden] arrives and volunteers to die with his noble ruler, but Brutus replies, "O Antony, beg not your death of us. Though now we must appear bloody and cruel, As, by our hands and this our present act, You see we do, yet see you but our hands And this the bleeding business they have done: Our hearts you see not; they are pitiful; And pity to the general wrong of Rome—" Brutus also tells Antony that he loves Caesar and assures Antony he will reveal the reason why he killed Caesar as soon as they have appeased the people of Rome Act 3, Scene II Brutus agrees to Antony's requests and the assassins depart, leaving Antony alone with the body of Caesar. Antony vows to seek revenge on Brutus and his cohorts by launching a civil war: "Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war; That this foul deed shall smell above the earth With carrion men, groaning for burial." Antony turns the crowd against Brutus Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? People run through the streets, screaming "Revenge! About! Seek! Burn! Fire! Kill! Slay! Let not a traitor live!" They rush to burn the homes of Brutus and his conspirators and Antony rejoices: Now let it work. Mischief, thou art afoot, Take thou what course thou wilt! Act 4, Scene I Antony meets with Octavius [Bush Sr.] and their henchman Lepidus [GW Bush Jr.] to decide who must be murdered to ensure they regain power. After Lepidus leaves on an errand, Antony and Octavius belittle him, comparing him to a horse that "must be taught and train'd and bid go forth" March 7, 2003 Dear distinguished readers and editors, Nothing can stop Mr. Bush of the US from committing the world to suicide and tragedy. I have written innumerable essays on the fallacy of security through war and I ask you to review these documents and sentiments along with my final essay on DEAF Zombies. Thank you for the years and your ears, In memory of what might have been, * ROY. Kerala, India
