WHY????????

It's none of our business. If the Tongans want to rid themselves of opressive rulers , let them. Why must we always sticking our noses in other countries affairs?

Fiji,Tonga, Agghanistan, Soloman Islands and god knows where else. We haven't enough police to maintain law and order in this country.

I was quietly hoping that a Tongan would wipe out our air force with one shot when it tried to land.

Nah, he was going to use a stick, but (when he realised the 'plane was 50 years old) he took pity on it.

I will rise to the bait :) :)

Such ignorance of world events and history from grumpy old men who should know better, beggars belief, it reminds me of the words of Chamberlain over Czechoslovakia;

"How horrible, fantastic it is that we should be digging trenches and trying on gas-masks here because of a quarrel in a far away country between people of whom we know nothing. I am myself a man of peace from the depths of my soul. "

501933 2006-11-26 20:20:00 Thank god we've been rid of that brash propagandist Donald Ribbentrop before he had time to believe his own lies . Tonga would have been nuked before lunchtime, airforce or no airforce .

That's provided he remembered to make psychic connection with his email server . True greatness lies with the annointed ones who can reply to their emails without reading them .

Actually, I think he spent too much time playing with his Michael Jackson dolls and doing clandestine karaoke performances in back-country pubs .

501935 2006-11-27 00:23:00 I wanted to see if I could attract more lefties out of the woodwork,that's one more.
We get one honest politician and the mob can't cope.

Well, being a woodworker and furniture maker, that should be no problem for you Cicero, but I'd be much more afraid of those secret sects who profess Christianity, and seem to have unlimited funds for political activities, and plan campaigns to reverse anti-nuclear policies.

If only half of the recent Australian documentary about them is true, then they do indeed present an evil aspect.

I will comment on the honesty judgement after I've read the book, but from what's been on TV, and extracts in the papers it looks bleak for him.


Edit: this is going right off topic. The topic is about "interference in Pacific Island affairs".

What I meant to say was I'd have thought most New Zealanders would have been somewhat aware of the "special relationships" and responsibilities that NZ has in the South Pacific, eg Niue, Tokelau, Western Samoa, Cook Islands.

But then, there is a glorious genetic inheritance from our Anglo Saxon forebears for adopting this sort of responsibilty, empire building, colonialism etc.
Noel Coward summed it up well:

"It's such a surprise for the Eastern eyes to see,
that though the English are effete, they're quite impervious to heat,
When the white man rides every native hides in glee,
Because the simple creatures hope he will impale his solar topee on a tree.
It seems such a shame when the English claim the earth,
They give rise to such hilarity and mirth.
Ha ha ha ha hoo hoo hoo hoo hee hee hee hee ......" :)

501937 2006-11-27 02:51:00 Do I detect a hint of being ashamed of belonging to the white race?

(When the white man rides every native hides in glee,)this riding referred to here,is the energy required to produce what the natives covet.
Do read the book,I am sure you can fit your views into to his,so to speak.

For some reason I live with the forlorn hope the likes of you will see the light of day,but I fear it is forlorn indeed.
