A message from "Edgar" and "Natasha"

We just received a message from "Edgar" informing us that he has indeed married our former operative "Natasha" and that they are enjoying their honeymoon together.  He even stated where they were staying, but asked us not to interfere and promised to maintain official contact as long as we behave civilly toward him and his new bride.

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not skeptical that "Edgar" wants to stay in contact with us, but his note was convincing enough that we think we'll give it a try.  We responded to "Edgar" that we would, at least in the near term, keep some operatives near enough to him to know whether he is planning anything that would harm the citizens of the world, but that we are perfectly open to diplomatic relations with him.  We received communication from him that our plan would be acceptable, and we have our operatives in place.  They report that "Edgar" appears to be on the up and up.  We'll have to see.

In his note "Edgar" also reiterated that, while he does want to rule the world, he doesn't believe that world citizens should be controlled by addictions to evil office products, or to anything similar.  He believes that he will be able to win them over to him based on his magnetic personality and his aura of power, and that once people know him they will flock to him and ask him to rule them.

We also extended an offer to "Edgar" to abandon his misguided efforts to rule the world alone and to join the GNU Public Dictatorship's Board of Dictators, but he made it clear that he does not want to share his power with others, regardless of how awesome they are.  We were taken aback by the compliment, which appeared to be sincere, but saddened that he does not wish to become a part of our awesomeness.  We are nothing if not hopeful that he won't resort to evil tactics in his pursuit of world domination!
