<"If we are ever attacked it won't be France that comes to our defence, it will be the United States."> NZ has a different point of view. If NZ is attacked, it is usually an attack by France. The USA does NOT come to our defence. They haven't done yet, so there's no reason to expect a change. <America is the new UN> Not really. But it's better than anything else for now. The UN has been pathetic for decades. Getting their soldiers tied up to poles by Serbs and being pushed aside while Serbs murdered thousands at Srebenica was an all-time low. rnw.nl United Nations tanks got pushed aside by Israeli tanks. Pathetic. No wonder mayhem continues. It's time to tell Israel how things are going to be. The UN set up Israel and the UN should tidy up the mess. Until the useless mob at the UN can think up something better than hassling people with the usual bureaucratic government paperwork stuff and do what security people are meant to do = provide security and enforce civilization, the USA is the best thing going. The NZ government is like the UN = really keen on hassling normal people for revenue gathering and vote buying, but pathetic and dithering in confronting and defeating criminals. The government is running the production line for criminals in NZ. My taxes mostly go to the USA = good. I'd rather pay for USS Enterprise and defeat of Saddam than production of a swarm of new criminals in NZ. Ich bin ein Yankee! Mqurice
