Ashtria

Supreme General Ashman is sitting on his high-back, black leather chair looking out of the wall-sized, 12 inch thick, reinforced window overlooking the daily beatings of seperatists in the capital city square. He turns to look at the five Commander-in-Chiefs in charge of Ashtria's military and security.
Ashman: "Gentlemen, we have a problem."
He flicks a switch on his marble desk, the size of a jumbo-jet. The opposing wall illuminates to reveal a projection screen, whilst the windows darken to quell the light from outside.
Ashman: "In the past week, there have been 17 seperate incidents of civillians openly supporting the actions of the Red Revenge. Many have shown little genuine concern for the fact that the cloning facility in Ashpestos was nearly destroyed."
Cmdr in chf #1: "Yes magnificence. We concur entirely with your judgment."
The screen begins silently playing random clips of people being mercilessly beaten and set on fire. General Ashman stands, his sillouette cast impressively upon the projection.
Ashman: "These seperatists are not just local to Ashtria. Their poison is quickly spreading to the other nations in the Grand Alliance. Something MUST be done!"
Cmdr in chf #2: "Perhaps we could try to reason with these minorities. Talk has always..."
Ashman: "No!"
Cmdr in chf #2: " ...been a bad idea." Cmdr in chf #2 obsequeously lowers his head in acknowlegement at his superior's opinion.
Cmdr in chf #3: "I believe that the seperatists are highlighting an important issue. Cloning has always been a rather unethical practice."
Silence falls on the room, shortly before the dead body of Cmdr in chf #3 falls on the floor. Supreme General Ashman returns his smoking berretta to his holster.
Ashman: "Before I choose a new Commander-in-Chief of Social Purity, I want practical applications on how to disembody this rebellion!"
Cmdr in chf #4 slides away from the rapidly expanding pool of blood from his former collegue.
Cmdr in chf #4: "Forgive my arrogance almighty one, but shouldn't we just execute and torture those who speak out?"
Ashman: "It has always worked in the past. But this time, send them to The Village in Bobghanistan. They have unique ways of extracting information"
Cmdr in chf #5: "A fantasic and imaginative idea excellence! Your brilliance and expertise, as always, is unlimited. Shall we proceed immediately?"
Ashman: "Yes, and have somebody come up here and clean that up. Inform also, the other Alliance leaders of this growing concern!"
As the remaining commander-in-chiefs withdraw from his office, Supreme General Ashman returns to his desk and looks out of the window. He takes his popcorn and relaxes to enjoy the public burnings.
