"Of course, the case of the DDT ban is just a small example of the murderous intent of our policies, Fred, with which we are trashing the humanity that defines us as human being. That's what we do when we intentionally cause untold millions of deaths around the world by a policy of intention. NSSM200 clearly states in its 120-page context that the selective destruction of human populations is our policy.
"Just imagine, Fred, if the people of the world pry open the compensation flood gate for this intentional murdering. How huge do you suppose would the global compensation case become for this single issue alone? And then add to that list all the other cases of our silent murdering that justly demand compensation claims, like for the CFC ban, or AIDS, which can all be arguably linked directly to NSSM200. NSSM200 became policy in 1975. AIDS hit the global scene five years later. The connection has been carefully covered up, but the timing suggests that the whole world has a pretty good case against us, which could be unimaginably costly in compensation claims that could shut our entire country down. The medical van project that I am requesting funding for would cost our country next to nothing in comparison, while it has the potential to take the wind out of the sails of the compensation-claims fleet. What I am requesting has the potential to start something positive, to start a trend that just might put the lid on this issue before it explodes into something unimaginably big. Can you imagine how big this can get when it is put onto the global agenda to be decided on by an international tribunal? Then add to this the damage we have caused to people all over the world with the radioactive pollution that our DU bombs have caused that keeps on killing forever.
I think we have a chance to repair some of the damage before it reflects itself back to us and destroys us in the same manner as we aimed to destroy other nations. The train on this issue has probably already left the station. We have to stop it along the way, before it gets to where it is going. Would you kindly help?"
With the click of the mouse my reply was on its way. It was easy to go asleep after that, with the start of a solution in mind.
Indira was already soundly asleep by the time the reply was composed and sent off. Since there was only one bed in the bedroom, and a huge one at that, I quietly joined her.
The next morning came all too soon. However, it began most pleasantly. I woke to the sight of a beautiful smile. The curtains were still drawn to keep the sun out. "Awake, awake!" I heard her say gently. "Happy Peter-day!" she added and grinned. "I greet you and I kiss you," she added gently after her grin gave way to her normal gentle smile again.
Would this become her daily morning greeting, I wondered? If so, what a 'heaven' I had yet to look forward to. I loved this greeting. And oh, how much better it sounded than just, good morning, or hi there!
This morning her greeting was followed up with a long drawn-out kiss. Also it was followed up with an invitation for breakfast on the balcony. Wow! What a treat! And there on the balcony I was greeted again.
"Happy Peter-day!" she repeated when I joined her in the sunshine of a new day.
"Happy Indira-day!" I replied and began to grin. "We can both have our day together you know."
"What a wonderful thought," she replied.
Oh, what a wonderful morning to this was turning out to be! What a sweeping view we had in the bright morning sunshine from her balcony on the 17th floor. Spread out below us one could see almost the entire city, so it seemed. Indira pointed out the Red Fort, the famous red sandstone fort, which she said was built in 1638 to keep out the invaders. The fort had remained to the present day a symbol of Mughal pomp and power. She also pointed out the Jama Masjid, the great mosque of Old Delhi, the largest mosque in India. "It has a courtyard that can hold 25,000 devotees," she said in the manner of a tour guide. "Jama Masjid was built in 1644. It was the last great building of the series of architectural indulgences of Shah Jahan. Shah Jahan is the Mughal emperor who also built the Taj Mahal and the Red Fort," she added. "The mosque has three great gateways," she explained, "four towers and two 135ft high minarets constructed entirely of strips of red sandstone and white marble."
