Before Yorgos Verge could respond in anguish, Victor Miles took the centre radius of the stage.
"What has been said has been said and clear on the opinions towards the Thessalonian affair" went Miles. "Now we will direct a new question; the Rosemary. France (my homeland; no, no, I left before the regime could touch me) is recently in a new crisis over claims that, as we know the ship attack had been blamed on Japan and a John Doe relation to a possible third party, especially on the issue of the atomic material present. Is this just an name blame that is most horrifically based over a serious attack or is there merit to the accusations? What should we done to help find out the truth regarding the attack? How does the thoughts regarding "who done it?" harm or benefit the operates of the investigation? Can justice be served? Yorgos Verge: so what is your view on the matter"
"Well" began Verge "our part in blaming Japan was a... case filled by our then antagonism towards them at the time, despite the death of Japanese servicemen and the atomic materials remaining there instead of being removed. It, we must confess, were not the most wise of policies and we will learn from the mistakes in future scenarios. No we must learn to follow the path of justice. That said we still open the idea of a power sacrificing their own populace for political gain, which the Platonic Republic will not conduct for our policy towards Thessaloniki will aim to avoid civilian casualties and..."
"You are answering the Rosemary questions as oppose to the previous Thessaloniki questions, yes?" interrupted Victory Miles. "How does Thessaloniki answer the issue of ship wrecks, which include members of my country dead?"
"To counter misrepresentation of the Platonic Republic" went Verge. "Anyway the investigation will have to account all possibilities and to look beyond the wall of what is there and see what should be there along with what is really there."
"Ok" went Victor. "I ask al-Sahhaf his observations of the matter now: what should be done?"

A full investigation encompassing all afflicted parties. This incident is extremely worrying indeed, and it is all the greater shame that Japanese obstinacy helped to worsen global divisions at the precise moment the international community needed to band together.

"Well... we have a agreement" observed Victor Miles. "Now we must relate to the case of Vietnam; with the defeat of Hanoi, the Platonic withdrawal from Vietnam, the Peacekeeper attack scandal, the UN purposed Sanction against Japan and Japan eagerness to... cool relations with its peers... we must ask about the future. Combined with the apology by Japan I will ask al-Sahhaf; what is your view on the whole situation in Vietnam? Will the UAR and others be able to find a solution? Do you think the Japanese response genuine?"

There is always a solution. It is simply a question of whether it is the right solution. Jerusalem's position has not changed: the only acceptable outcome is the relinquishment of the Japan Controlled Zone to UNVIFOR and the establishment of a unified, independent Vietnamese state. But Japan is fighting tooth and nail to prevent this. It is repeating the same process used in China: military annexation and the misappropriation of labour and resources of its imperial periphery to maintain the decadent lifestyle of its core. Tokyo gives no regard, no regard at all, to the well-being of Vietnamese citizens, except to the extent that they can fuel the Japanese economy. But the Japanese know they are on the losing side. These recent attempts to mend relations are evidence that the imperialist dogs are frightened, and now they are scrambling to salvage their reputation in a bid to stave off their inevitable ostracism. Is Japan sincere? Of course not: how can we honestly believe that the murder of aid workers is an accident when Tokyo has made it clear that it treats the United Nations as an enemy? We have mountains of evidence that shows its policy in Vietnam is to shoot first, and I am greatly aggrieved that the government of Ireland, whose citizens were the victims of this blatant aggression, has been deceived by these lies. I wish to read a communiqué Jerusalem received yesterday from the Japanese government: Japan has no wish to make UAR it's [sic] enemy. Japan has witnessed the hostility of UAR ever since it begun it's [sic] peacekeeping operations in China. Japan believes that UAR has misunderstood us. We wish for peace and friendship between our two countries. Japan has also no wish to invade UNVIFOR territory or expand any more in Indo-China. Japan is willing to make certain non territorial concessions to UAR if UAR accepts the Empire of Vietnam and stop it's hostile rhetoric against Japan. Japan is a friend of peace and has not once attacked UAR. More than once, you have called us imperialists, evil and have made racist comments against us, but we always reply with kind words and offers of friendship. We just do not understand why UAR refuses to accept the friendship of Japan. They come to Vietnam like a band of brigands to loot and enslave the people, and yet we are the aggressors? They claim they are friendly, yet look at the way they use every opportunity to misframe our intent! And what is this nonsense about racism? Where has the Republic ever slandered the Japanese people? It is a very dangerous attitude to equate the ruling party with the nation entire they way that Tokyo does, for this denies legitimate criticism of its insidious methods. This is what the letter says: "We wish to make amends, but we will not address the grievances." How can one take such a sentiment seriously? Jerusalem issued a response reiterating our stance on Vietnam, and Japan replied with thinly-veiled threats. I ask you: Is that the behaviour of a government that truly desires peace?

"Beware of intent in ones message" considered Victor Miles. "Is Japan having a agenda behind its 'confessions?' What is the Platonic policy on this Mr Verge?"
"In light of our recent peace deal we have to... be careful in what we say" went Yorgos Verge. "While we stand for the idea of a independent Vietnam, we hoped under the order and security that the warlords that have been removed would have given, we are never the less wanting to... keep quite on much of the issue due to the returning of our Protective Caste members from the prison camps in China. I can say off the record though that our trade relations opposing to the sanctions against Japan are all set in ensuring a realist peace to help the Platonic Republic rethink its... global strategies."
Yorgos Verge took a deep pause, drank from a plastic cup of water and then continues: "Takis Papadakis has stated that while our commitment to Vietnam was indeed for justice we fear we may, after the fall of the warlords, have got too much injury to commit to the issue. If a stance was to take fully against Japan then it would have to, I have to fear, be by the sword, for beyond it is not peace but another way to slay. Still we suggest Tokyo repents for the UN aids slaughtered if they want to restore their prestige they lost during the occurrence. That said once we have recovered we can consider our next response to the situation, although we will possible be working with the UNVIFOR as oppose to being part of it unless the Platonic Republic is deemed itself able or in its interest to recommit."
"Platonic policy of peace thanks but wait and see too?" went Miles. Before Verge could respond Victor Miles went to state "it appears we have both two notable policies, while it is clear Mr Verge is... "strained" on what he can say at the moment. So... we sure enjoy the lighting in this room but lantern light is all expensive now that the oil have dried up. My next question is about not only the future of energy but of Gaia. I will ask about the energy policies after oil, what to do with the remaining oil, the nuclear question and whether renewables have been invested enough into or need more funding drastically. I will let al-Sahhaf first express his opinion of this... NOW!"

The first wave of the oil crisis has been felt for decades now as global petroleum prices have skyrocketed. Yet it was still not enough to deter consumption rates, which resembled a pack of rabid businessmen bludgeoning each other for the last dollar on the table; indeed, such was the motivation for Greece's recent expansion into eastern Libya. Nations that do not have a plan already in place to transition to alternative energy sources will undergo a second crisis when their strategic reserves dry up. Fortunately, the United Arab Republic has not been deluded by its own oil wealth, and Jerusalem has adopted a strategy first developed by Egypt prior to unification that combines both renewable energy sources and synthetic fuels such as ethanol. In particular, the past ten years has seen the rapid expansion of solar farms in the Libyan Desert, while special efforts have been taken to restore operation to the Aswan Dam in advance of the Republic regaining control of the region. We have also been importing foreign algae-based ethanol technology to provide an efficient alternative fuel source for older engine systems.

"Those who do not plan are planning for defeat" Victor Miles said. "Indeed we must ask the Platonic Republic's Verge, so desperate for the last drops of the so called "black gold" in Libya for what their "Post-Oil Plan" be?"
"The issue is one we had attempted to brew consolidation for... our plans in Libya was for plastics material if anything else" went Verge. "We have recently been in talks with our friends in Constantinople. Emperor Andreas has, in wisdom, taken to help Platonic development in the use of Thorium for energy production. We do not however agree in focusing on biofuels but have indeed have set to hydrogen engines. We had also attempted to access uranium but are currently unable to acquire the mineral. As for Libya's initial days; we had acquired Benghazi thanks in part to Oussama Mihayshi and Zied Al Borki, who share like I, Andreas Hatzis, Eleni Agne, Olympia Zeno and Theophylaktos Rodia the privilege of being classed as founders of the Platonic Republic. They help our struggle to establish our order and in turn we helped them secure Benghazi, which came in turn to be part of our glorious and just regime. Still we admire hydrogen and will eager to establish proper renewable protocols backed by the atomic sector."
"I see" went Miles. "Now for the last topic of the day... relationship between the United Arab Republic and the Platonic Republic are... not exactly the most lovely of relations. Both nations had close link during the early days of both peacekeeping efforts in Vietnam and their part in the Mediterranean Economic, Commerce and Trace Union. Never the less the rather... "slightly" fanatical focus by the Platonic Republic regarding the Council of Hanoi against Japan had cracked relations between both Greece and the UAR. With the Platonic calling the UAR "cowardly" and the UAR seeing the Platonics as making the situation worse in Vietnam by a rather fanatical aggression which saw the Platonic Republic "retired" from the United Nations Vietnam Intervention Force. Relations have let to cool, so here is a chance between two neighbours to... be happy to each other. Yorgos Verge; I give you the honour of first replying to the following: "so what is your view on the matter?""
"I apologise for the... temper of what should have been a kept reasonable Philosopher Council. Even we have our... moments" went Yorgos Verge. "I am afraid our stance in the time was a moment of... nationalistic pride of... "us vs. them" against Japan, combine with both our scepticism towards Texarkana's democratisation vision, which we feared would result in a worse scenario by denying the elitist structure needed to ensure a just and well managed society. One cannot expect anyone to be wise and may only the wisest be in charge at the peril of the nation! Baring that a authoritarian regime, such as the warlords vision, would have ensured more order than what could come out of the badness of democracy. Never the less... the issue was then."
"What is now?" went Victor Miles.
"Now is of... reflection" replied the Governing Caste member. "I... we are... sorry for the... outbursts against you. Combined with frustration of being denied our position in UNVIFOR and the passion that should have not blinded us most unjustly after Japan attacked the warlords... I am sorry. We did not mean to get all hot headed with our friends the United Arab Republic and hence we must return to the reasoning that we strive for. Although some of my fellow councillors are still... crippled with the bitterness I will ensure you through my status as a founder that Takis Papadakis, who should be the best of us, must learn to be the best or be replaced. Truth be... his entry came from his popularity with the populace than his wisdom alone. We may have... make a miscalculation, like how we should have used the term "prison labour" as oppose to stating slavery as a punishment in itself openly. We... open to UAR if they... open to us. May we both lead M.E.C.T.U to... a golden dawn and see peace restored. Our differences and disagreements should not ruin a possible friendship most... just."
"I... see" went Miles. "To Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf I must now ask, as well as ask him in reply to the Platonic Republic, indeed most desirably: "so what is your view on the matter?""

Reconciling relations between Athens and Jerusalem will be difficult, because the Greek government has proven itself impulsive, and thus, untrustworthy. It was willing to jeopardize UNVIFOR in pursuit of an ill-advised vendetta against Japan, and at the first sign of trouble it reversed its policy and adopted a platform of appeasement. How can we expect Athens to uphold an agreement when an administration that so prides itself on the supremacy of reason has displayed anything but? Rapprochement is not impossible, but Athens will need to make a considerable effort to regain the confidence of the international community.

"Our justice will set a will to ensure relations that are of grander trusting" Yergos began to reply...
"I am afraid that is all we have time for folks!" interrupted Victor Miles, his arms outwards cross like. "Beginning and ending with notes that the Platonic Republic and the United Arab Republic are... in need of some friendship? Well I can say that I hope the best for the two Republics! I thank Yergos Verge and Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf for taking their time to come here today to debate and I thank the audience for their viewing of the debate. Remember to comment on our forums as, till next time, I ask: "so what is your view on the matter?"
-clue audience claps as both debaters started to get off from their seats-
