Phone call from Bremer

[trof]

Hello?

Hello, Jibran?

Yes?

This is Paul Bremer. Do you know who I am?

Sir? The United States Presidential Envoy to Iraq? Is this you, sir?

Yes, Jibran, it's me.

Oh my, sir. Why have you called me? What can I do for you?

I'm glad you asked. You know that we're turning the government over to your people on June 30? Only problem is...we don't know who to turn it over to. Your name came up.

But sir, I am only 17. I am delivery boy for Pizza Hut in the Green Zone. Since last week. It is my first job. I think you have the wrong Jibran, sir. I am Jibran al Habib.

I understand that, Jibran. You come highly recommended by the Pizza Hut manager, Nizzar al Habib.

Uncle Nizzar?

That's right. He says you are very dependable. A smart boy. Look Jibran, we had a long list of possibilities. For one reason or another none of the others were available. Some had previous plans, or elderly parents to care for, or a dentist's appointment...whatever. We even talked to your Uncle Nizzar, but of course he has the Pizza Hut to run.
It's come down to you.

But sir, I know nothing of government. How can I do this?

Not to worry, Jibran. We'll have plenty of...um...advisors to...uh...help you out. Don't worry about a thing. We think you're just the guy. What do you say?

Well sir, if you will help me, I will do my best, insh'allah.

That's all we ask. I'll be in touch.
