War

The following weekend proved to be particularly pleasant for Tarja. At Saturday she went hiking and shopping, and of course a Sauna at night, then Sunday a group of her die hard fans stormed into the state TV station as well as the Parliament house, demanding the restore of her as the vocalist of Nightwish. An emergent session was immediately hold at the parliament, after 30 minutes of intensive debating and voting and a coffee break, the decision was made, that Tarja would be the president of Republic of Finland and was given the power to disassemble the parliament, impose the Tax, wage the war, or, receive a formal apology from the band Nighwish. The former president, whose name happened also to be Tarja, addressed shortly after the resignation, saying, "Nothing really changed indeed, we are both women, both called Tarja, and both Finish, the nation is again in good hands."

The very next day president Tarja called for a top level military meeting, during which she asked, "When was the last time we fought a war?"

"In nineteen forties", an office said, "to fight Russian first and then later shortly with German."

"Great, now we are to fight with China."

There was silence, until someone broke it.

"Excuse me, would anyone mind my smoking?"

"Yes, all of us."

Silence again, until somebody else broke it.

"Mrs President, I know as a man in uniform I shall just follow the order, but you see, the idea to go to a war with China, is, shall I say, pretty insane."

Tarja stared at the officer, articulating the words very clearly. "Our forefathers fought with Russia, which was bigger, more powerful, and alcoholic. I can't see a reason why we shall not have a war with China. Unless you care too much about the panda."

Everyone seemed to be convinced.

"That said, shall we start the plan?" asked an air force officer, "My cousin is working with NATO and probably he can help me get some long range stealthy bombers."

"Not necessary." Said Tarja, "We just send them the message, and the message will be broad casted on MTV."
