The following pick your own path short story was written and published by Dailey Enterprises. All characters and events in this are fictional, and any resemblance to actual living people is purely coincidental.
Entry One
You find yourself as the President of a powerful nation, a post previously held by your father. Your nation is one of freedom, opportunity and liberty…an economic and military giant in the world. Eleven years earlier your nation fought a war against an evil tyrant, with a track record 20 years long of invading other countries around him, using chemical warfare against civilian populations and was also responsible for the starvation of millions of his citizens, while he lived in 30 million dollar palaces.
The evil tyrant agreed that if aggression against him was ended, he would completely disarm his chemical, biological and nuclear programs. The tyrant agreed to allow planes to fly over the northern and southern sectors of his country to protect the minority civilian populations there, as well as agreeing to having inspectors verify his disarmament. The inspectors were to be comprised of members from many different countries around, a United organization so to speak.
Over the past 11 years, the tyrant has not cooperated with the inspections in the least bit, instead opting to dribble out a little bit of irrelevant information when the political waters got rough, just enough to appease most of the united countries. He has continously fired upon the planes working within the agreed framework in the fly over zones, and he has not disarmed.
On 17 separate occasions the tyrant has broken resolutions put forward by the united countries, and continues to remain in defiance. In addition, the tyrant is known to have provided financial assistance and incentives to suicide bombers comprising of a well known terrorist group, hell bent on the destruction of one of your key allies in the area. Your intelligent reports also indicate that some senior leadership from another terrorist organization are living in his capitol, a group responsible for the death of 3,000 of your people a year and a half earlier.
Several of your allies are waffling, particularly one that has a history of avoiding military conflicts, reacts passively at the very thought of confrontation, has a history of needing to be bailed out of wars by other nations, has taken an anti-approach to anything to do with your country, has invited barbaric dictators from a neighboring continent to conferences despite the opposition of many, and has verbally bashed many other key allies in their region. It should also be mentioned that this fictional county also has strong military and economic ties with the country you are about to invade. So it’s decision time, what is your course of action…?
· I will look over the facts one more time (Go to Entry 2)
· I will let the weapons inspectors continue their work, military action is not needed (Go to Entry 3)
· I will launch pre-emtive strikes with the ousting of the government the key objective (Go to Entry 4)
Entry Two
The tyrant in question has disobeyed 17 united nation resolutions, he has invaded 2 of his neighbors and launched missle attacks on 6 of them. He has used chemical warfare against 2 separate groups, including civilians within his own country. He has solidified his political status by murdering, kidnapping, torturing and eliminating any political foe in sight. He has large quantities of chemical and biological weapons that are unaccounted for, and he has a grudge. Go back to entry one and decide again.
Entry Three
The inspections continue for several months and turn up nothing more significant, the tyrant has done a splendid job of hiding them and threatening the scientists and engineers. Inspectors finish their job and leave the region, giving the tyrant full reign. Several months later you are awoken by a late night phone call, the tyrant has detonated a nuclear weapon against your key allie in the region, while his armies swept over three other countries. His press release reveals he is doing it to protect the vital interests of his kingdom, and also reveals he has 4 other nuclear weapons and will use them. Now you are fucked…sorry and try again.
Entry Four
Your mighty military unleashes it’s brutal force against the tyrant, reigning down bombs on his military and communication facilities. The tyrants armies begin surrendering in mass, including to members of your media organizations. Each city your tank columns roll through bring a parade of people into the streets, shouting with joy over their liberation from the tyrant. Meanwhile, the tyrant has buried himself and the key members of his government deep in his bomb shelter, below the capitol. In weeks your army rolls over his country, liberating people everywhere. Your soldiers find stashes of chemical and biological weapons hidden all around the country, as well as plans for a nuclear program. Brave soldiers have perished to liberate this country, and shortly there after an elected government is put into place, giving the people control of their own destiny.
