He had achieved Eternal Peace. The blood that had so long marked the Land of Nothing was now a part of the world to share. The 'Unclean' had been made to pay the price of their power. The 'Unclean' no longer had the right to Lord over their peace. Their land was in turmoil and the price had been paid.
The Watchers moved. They finally began to come alive under the intense pain that was pushed towards them. The Devotees screamed deliverance as the passion of relief caught them and they finally saw the pain move away from them.
The Watchers could no longer ignore the pain. It was too close. It had too many memories. The Giver finally showed his face to the world as he accepted the acclaim he believed he deserved. Then shook the foundations of the past. The Land of Nothing was again ravaged. The Devotees were pressurized into betraying their own. Some turned traitors others went to their graves as the Watchers demanded atonement.
The Terror continued. The Giver lost his throne, as the usurper became the usurped. The Watchers thrived in midst off the Terror and they soon realized that the manner in which the Giver had been born could never be repeated. The silence had to be fought and so they continued the ravage. What had started as a small force of retaliation began to grow bigger as the Watchers took their position. The world of the Giver was no more but the Watchers were not satisfied. They looked for more. They could not allow
The World stood apart accepting the Watchers right. The terrorized became the terrors.
There were murmurs of discontent. Values were questioned. Doubts formed in the minds of millions but as with the Giver silence reigned supreme. The Watcher's Lord claimed omnipotence. He claimed the Divine right to avenge his Land. Like the Land of Nothing others would have to be stopped before they ravaged the Blessed. The Lands that Threatened the Blessed were pointed out and the forces gathered. The Watchers stepped asides as the messengers claimed right and followed the rule laid down by the Watchers.
The Giver was lost and could arise again. His saviors would have to be silenced and actions taken to prevent another Final Act occurring. The World could not fathom this sentence of wisdom. The Giver was gone but the Devotees suffered. Traitors of the Watchers emerged in the band of the Devotees and were treated with kindness. Their lost souls had to be saved. The Blessed could not be wrong. The World had misgivings. The Watcher's lord demanded compliance. Those who wanted inaction were labeled traitors. The fear of death slowly took over. The Watchers usurped the position of right and presented the others as 'Unclean.' They had to give freedom to the world.
Inevitable.
The Devotees of the Watchers bowed to their right as the supreme and they said, 'I am ready," "to finish what the Watchers started."
The beginning of the end -- a cycle of force that had no right.
satire is. The American Heritage College Dictionary describes satire as a literary work that attacks human vice or folly through irony, derision, or wit. Using this definition, we will focus on the manner in which Candide and Bourgeois Gentihomme make use of satire and comedy.

Katulis and Juul help put into perspective the tentative position of Iraq in saying that Iraq's leadership remains split on a draft version of SOFA (Katulis and Juul, online). The Iraqi cabinet must vote a two-thirds majority in favor of their support for a plan (Katulis and Juul). This may be difficult to achieve when the cabinet is divided along religious sect lines. It is, too, perhaps the first time

Laura Bush describes her life as the First Lady and goes all the way in making fun of the President's habits, way of doing things and personal life.
