Shock hit the Shazbotdom Empire today when news reached them of a nuclear attack on a capital city of a foreign country. Even though this news is quite a ways old, the Shazbotdom Imperial Parliament made an official announcement today to the citizens of the Shazbotdom Empire via a news conference that was broadcasted live on Shazbotdom News Network.
At the news broadcast, the Majority and Minority leaders of both houses of the Parliament expressed outrage that nuclear weapons would be used in the manner that they were during the conflict. "With the limited resources of the international community, it is an tasteless thing to use nuclear weapons against a civilian populace. The Shazbotdom Empire knows this best when we lost several hundred children to a nuclear attack on a Marine Corps Base almost 60 years ago," said Ms. Thoreson, the Senate Minority Leader.
But the news quickly turned to the positive when word reached the Imperial Parliament that a peace agreement was made and that a memorial would be built for those who lost their lives in the attack. "The positive outcome is that those who lost their lives will be remembered for eternity with the construction of the memorial," Said House of Commons Majority Leader, Mr. Gregory Harrison during the joint conference. The House of Commons Minority Leader and the House of the Senate Majority Leader gave short speeches that can be read on the Imperial Parliament Web Site.
There has been no official word from the Imperial Palace or the Office of the Supreme Emperor on the latest news from that region, but rumors from within the Imperial Palace are that the Supreme Emperor would echo the words spoken by the Minority and Majority leaders of both houses from within the Imperial Parliament.
