The Issue

All of Krithgal has been in an uproar since yesterday when a car exploded in the middle of the capital city, killing dozens and injuring hundreds. This terrorist act was traced back to a violent minority group known as the Lilliputian Freedom Fighters. A group allegedly supported by an unfriendly regime, despising Krithgal for its heathenish ways and political bent, but more particularly for supporting the recent occupation of their homeland by an ally.
The Debate

1. "They simply crossed the line!" shouts General Billy Thiesen. "Far too long have we tolerated these terrorist threats, it's time that they realise they can't mess with us. Send the order to prepare an invasion, and we will show them who is boss! Our brave soldiers are prepared to die for their country, all we need is your signature and a lot of money. But what is the cost of freedom and safety for Krithgal's peoples?"


2. "Attacking another country isn't the answer," says Pip Fellow, director of the Krithgal Intelligence Agency. "The problem doesn't lie abroad, but within Krithgal itself! We should have more freedom to do our work. Protecting our nation from these cowardly scaremongerers would be much easier if we had an inherent right to tap phones and other communications, get search warrants whenever we need, and detain suspects indefinitely. Remember, to prevent is better than to cure."


3. "No, that's what those terrorists want us to do!" speculates chairman Hope Mombota of the Patriots' Tea and Biscuits Club. "We don't want to give the Agency any more responsibility, they're the ones who messed up in the first place. What we need is to purge Krithgal of these rats who don't respect the laws and traditions of our way of life. We know who they are and where they come from, so the solution is obvious: we just won't let those sorts of people cross our borders and kick out those who are already here. It might seem a bit harsh, but hey, we were here first. Long live Krithgal!"


4. "I think it's clear to anyone with half a brain in their head that this will just not work," says Miranda Summers, a noted professor of social studies. "The people who perpetrate these terrible crimes do so because they feel they have no other recourse to demonstrate their political opinions. They'll do anything and I'm sure they're not above hiring mercenaries. You must understand why terrorists act as they do and fix it! What we should do is to reach out to the ethnic and religious minorities and seek common ground! Negotiation is the key! Violence solves nothing."


5. "We spit on Krithgal!" expectorates Alexei Hendrikson, leader of the Lilliputian Freedom Fighters. "You disrespect our people and our country and everything we are! You spread your sickening influence where it is not wanted! You must change your ways and cease to oppose us or else there will be more bloodshed. You have been warned!"


6. "Is terrorism such a terrible thing? Really?" asks Freddy Falopian, avant garde journalist, discreetly sliding a pipe bomb under your desk. "These people are simply expressing their political opinion the best way they know how. I think we should legalise terrorism as a legitimate form of political commentary. It'll certainly get people interested, don't you think?"


finally

Freddy Falopian is such a troll.

"These are turbulent times we live in," says Defense Chief Larry Longbottom. "Turbulent and dangerous. And the only sensible response to that, of course, is to build a lot more weapons. Unless we get the funding we need, I can't promise that we'll be able to defend Queen Ally's sovereign borders from rogue nations and foreign powers. Or those leaky boatloads of refugees, for that matter."

I was gonna say no to more weapon funding until I read the last part about refugees.

"This pill is the only known and unknown cure for the Spon Plague!" proclaims Professor Alexei du Pont, the inventor of the cure. "But if we are to go ahead with the production of this drug, we must get some government support. We're set to make a fortune from this drug - the money we earn will help us develop even more cures for other as-yet untreatable diseases. Some people won't be able to afford it of course, but hard cheese on them: they should have got a paying job while they were still capable."

sighhhhhh
dismiss again...

[Chromeo]

But Tailseo! They're going to make a fortune upselling life-saving medicine! How can you shut them down like that?

[Tails82]

Let them make a fortune without the state's help, if they're so confident.

Note my least extreme status in the region. Strong conservative, free market principles are sensible and lead to progress for all.

Well I'll be looking out for a Queen Ally article when Cracked does their next feature on insane dictators.

To celebrate being number one again today you're all invited to my region and we can have a photo shoot.
