Unidentified bodies baffle me. I am unsure whether the persons they belong to had expired in Beirut, Baghdad, Mogadishu or Damascus. These corpses are a nuisance to policemen, and to the interior minister, the Party branch, and cleaners. They cannot be left to rot in the street. They would pose a hazard to public health. The killer does not accept for the health of the citizens or the country to be at risk. The relevant authorities have no time to carry out the necessary tests to identify the dead. The budget resources, the people's money, cannot be squandered on lab tests. The number of corpses is high, and is likely to rise, possibly to match the population of a capital city or a small country. Instead, this time can be used to focus efforts on putting down sedition, or conspiracies – of course while producing even more bodies. The truth is that the problem does not lie in the bodies, but in the screens, which insist on violating their privacy. They carry their pictures incessantly. This biased media does not respect the privacy of countries or their citizens. Proceeding from their keenness on safeguarding all their citizens, the authorities behave responsibly and compassionately. They have no time to wait until the bereaved or the orphaned come to take the body. Time is golden, and circumstances are truly exceptional. For this reason, bodies are hauled into trucks, after being assigned numbers – sometimes not at all-, and then interred in the soil of the homeland. It is not the purpose of the Arab to live. It is his purpose to hasten his sleep beneath the homeland's soil. Also, unidentified bodies have many benefits. They are buried at the expense of the benevolent state, and families are thus spared the cost of funeral services and the wailing of relatives. The anchors of the biased media rush to describe the dead as being innocent. Why rush to make such allegations before the results of the investigation are announced? Who can guarantee that the dead did not have malicious intentions or subversive ideas? What proof do the anchors have that they were on their way to the bakery or the pharmacy, as they say? The anchors are also quick to condemn those who killed them, before the results of the investigations emerge. They sharply and without justification rail against snipers. But snipers are of the people. They were appalled by the conspiracy so they decided to fight back. Snipers are good, disciplined and ideological citizens. If they are given a task they do it to the fullest. Where is the objective media? Why does it not ask: Why did the dead violate the snipers' territory? Why did they try to test their courage and patriotism? Why did they try to embarrass the snipers in front of their superiors? Would it have been better if a sniper let them pass, came out empty handed, and subjected himself to snitching by his comrades – and therefore to coming under sniper fire himself too? The sniper was doing his duty. Soon, when peace reigns again, he will receive a promotion and a medal, especially if the number of people he shot at was very high. The official investigations, independent investigations supervised by hardened judges, will not take long before producing results. The investigations will show that the unidentified bodies belonged to people who were planning to perpetrate horrific crimes, and who concealed in their heads pictures of strategic installations. They will be accused of planning for assassinations, bombings and mass killings, and that some of them were CIA or Mossad agents. The independent judiciary does not play games and is never complacent. It will most certainly investigate the case. The court might decide to summon the dead. In that case, the security services will summon them to their headquarters. It will be an ordinary meeting to prepare the dead to defend themselves – or a torture session in which electricity, otherwise cut off from most parts of the city, is often used. A lawyer may be appointed for the dead from the same security service, to help them confess to their crimes, and the court may confront them with images of the evil ideas they had the moment they were in the sniper's crosshairs. Naturally, they will collapse and confess to everything: The names of those who misled them, and the generous amounts they received to carry out the plot. At the end of the trial, the dead may even thank the sniper, because he cut their lives short before they could carry out what they were entrusted to do against their precious homeland and beloved regime. Who knows, the court might decide to execute them on the spot, before the rest of their remains can be taken to the cemetery of the unknown. The sniper's innocence is clear, and so is the crime of the dead corpses.
