(Yoshi) Start the air strikes and after about 3 hours of bombing, we’ll

            send in the cleanup crew to rid us of that unwanted scum.

                  Switch to the CNN reporter in a jeep with Mike Kelly and Ed.


            (CNN Reporter) (To camera man) Are we ready? (Mike) Look up in the

            sky! They are going to bomb the town by air and then send in the troops.
            (CNN  Camera  Man)  It’s  done  Calls  in  the  Editor’s  office).  (CNN

            Editor)  Allen,  what  have  you  got?  War?  Pipe  this  into  the  front  desk.
            (CNN  Editor)  Allen  has  a  story  that’s  live  on  my  Q.  Pipe  him  in  on  3.

            Allen, I have the control center on the line. We’ll pump the story into the
            Anchor  Desk  and  through  ABC,  CBS,  NBC  and  Fox  on  3.  1,  2,  3.  (CNN
            Anchor)  We  interrupt  your  regular  programming  to  bring  you  this  late

            breaking story. (CNN Reporter) This is Allen Ross with CNN News live
            here  at  little  Hiroshima  II  where  it  would  seem  the  Japanese  have

            declared  war  on  the  Indians  of  the  once  Navajo,  Apache  and  Mohave
            Reservation.


            (CNN Anchor) Allen, explain to our viewers the sounds and sights in the
            back-ground. (CNN Reporter) It’s war. The Japanese have deployed 13

            to 16 fighters to bomb cities with women and children. I have here one of
            the  Indians  from  this  area.  Ed,  why  do  you  think  the  U.S.  Government

            would  allow  this  to  go  on?  (Ed)  It’s  simple. We  don’t  count. We’re only
            Indians.  (Mike)  Hold  on  Allen.  I  feel  that  the  U.S.  Government  can’t

            intervene until they see sights like this, of violation of human rights and
            the taking of innocent lives. (CNN Anchor) Allen, on the line we have the
            Vice President of the United States. (CNN Reporter) How are you, Mr.

            Vice President? (Vice President) I’m aware. Convey to the Indians that
            we are in negotiations with the Japanese government and we may not be

            able  to  commit  troops  right  now,  but  we  have  an  air  space  embargo  so
            they can’t transport any more troops here. (CNN Reporter) Thank you,

            Mr. Vice President. (Vice President) Stay strong and God bless. Help will
            be on the way.


             At that moment, a big blast disconnected the news feed. Switch the
