The Dictators Museum- A New Sightseeing Spot in Tokyo

*Hiragana Times CIA(Cynically Insulting Agency)

The world's first dictators museum will open soon in Tokyo. Here, dictators of modern times will be displayed along with photos and evidence of how they oppressed people. The museum is sure to become a major topic of conversation as Tokyo's new sightseeing spot. Hiragana Times CIA arranged an exclusive interview with the museum director.


CIA: For what purpose has this unique museum been planned?

Director: As you know, in the world there are many figures that greatly influenced people. Generally they are viewed as heroes, but in fact most of them are cruel dictators. Because of their ambitions untold millions of innocent people died. It is necessary for people to review history and admit they were not heroes at all, but bloody murderers. This museum will be a sanctuary of evil people. It is a great dishonor to be displayed here.

CIA: Who will be on display?

Director: All the top evil heroes will be on show. Among them, a trio of brutal murderers are highlighted. These are HITLER, STALIN and POL POT. Germany's Hitler massacred six million Jewish. Stalin of the Soviet Union executed one million people after prosecuting them and it is said that under his rule twenty million people were killed, including those in concentration camps. Cambodia's Pol Pot imitated the Red Army of MAO Tsu-Tung and coerced children into killing intellectuals. One million seventy thousand people were said to have been killed under him. Many other figures including Italy's MUSSOLINI, TOJO of Japan and CEAUSESCU of Romania are also on display.

CIA: How did they become dictators?

Director: They all have something in common. Hitler portrayed Jews as the enemy of the German people by claiming that the German economy had been controlled by Jews. He subsequently channeled peoples' frustration into hatred for the Jews. Like Hitler, most dictators agitate their people and grasp complete power. After that they purge the opposition and build a dictatorship. Then those dictators who are afraid of betrayal protect themselves by placing their relatives and their yes-men in important posts and using the monopolized media they make themselves defied. After that they oppress people while they and their families enjoy prosperity. The way dictators grasp power is very similar in most cases.

CIA: Director, don't you think that dictators are not just politicians, but incredibly good swindlers? People at the time adored these people which means they adored a thief of a nation, didn't they?

Director: That's right, but disgustingly it was these thieves themselves who pushed people to adore them. This museum was built to let people around the world know of their evil conduct. Don't think this is a museum, but a prison, where once they are caught here they can never get out and are displayed as foolish specimens so that the world's people can scorn them generation after generation.

CIA: Are only dead dictators displayed?

Director: Yes, but there are many living dictators who we would like to display now, but are not able to do so as we are afraid of being oppressed.

CIA: We can all guess who they are. Saddam HUSSEIN who oppressed the Iraq people will be one, won't he? And of course President Bush who started the Iraq War by claiming Iraq had weapons of mass destruction will be the next. He must be displayed without fail in the museum, especially if he starts another war, right?

Director: No! President Bush declared that he would remove the causes of oppression. If he is successful and becomes a hero of the people of countries America liberates, he will be a super hero in this museum and will be purged from here forever.

CIA: Well then, what about the Great Shogun of North Korea?

Director: It is impossible as he is only a pipsqueak who displays cunning methods of bargaining and abducts innocent foreign people. The only chance for him to be displayed here is if he attacks Tokyo with nuclear weapons as he has threatened, but if that happens, this museum will be completely destroyed before we can display him.
