As he sat at his desk in his egg-shaped office, his aide presents to him a new map comprising of his new empire. He is gleeful as ever. The top secret report accompanying the map, indicates his army are well stationed all over the globe. The plans are, to conquer and rule.

His top generals predicts the size of his new kingdom. It will be vast and under his control within few months. He is delighted and feels superior. He has reached the top of his potential, and people listens to his suggestions as if they were orders from God; "Oh yeah, God! I am God" he whispers to himself. "The heck with it, the real God doesn't exist, if he does he would protect the oppressed people that now I am oppressing" he continues. "I must be God. I rule, I defeat, I am really God, the new Pharaoh"

He opens the drawer of his desk, picks up a nail cutter. And gently starts trimming the index finger of his left hand. He secretly smiles, looks around to see if his aide still around, but, no the aide has long gone.

He looks at the map again, staring as if he is looking for something in particular, he looks again, and again. He is upset! obviously, very upset. He calls on his aide, the latter comes rushing in, "Yes, Mr. President, the glorified Pharaoh" the aide said. The president smiles, as if he wants to hear his name called again, too many times. "I am looking for something on the map, and I can't find it!" The Pharaoh said. The aide is surprised, inquisitively asked, "What is it Mr. President?" The Pharaoh in a low tone of voice, "I am looking for Palestine, Israel you know. Where is it on the map?" The aide, in less than a second, points the location of Palestine, "Here Mr. President" the aide replied.

The new ruler, looks at the tiny size of Palestine, reviews the facts of pre and post the creation of Israel. Israel, is a country his previous administration supported blindly since its creation.                                                      continue...
