the masque of the red death

An Iranian peasant is wandering through the woods near the city of Isfahan.
He encounters the angel of death sitting beneath a tree.
"Do not be afraid," says the angel of death. "Go to the people. Tell them that the hour of their deliverance is at hand."
What he means is that Israel is about to destroy Iran's atomic weapons programme forever. When the dust clears the evil Iranian government will no longer exist. The oppression propagated by that government will be at an end. But the good will die with the bad.
As the Iranian peasant wanders back to his family, the angel of death turns and looks out of the screen at all of us.
