Rick, <NZ has always been a good partner
in the war against evil, however, in the current war on terrorism it has been somewhat timid.

A quick test for you.

1....Name the New Zealander who died in the cockpit of the hijacked aircraft which didn't reach its target. What was he doing in the cockpit?
2....How many New Zealander soldiers were high in the hills of Afghanistan early on in the hunt for Al Qaeda? What were they doing there?

That'll do for a start.

To put you right on who was leading the allies to victory, my father was well entrenched in the middle east fighting Hitler's forces while the USA was still cringing on the other side of the ocean. The USA did not lead. They followed. Much later.

Meanwhile, we don't 'wait' for the NUN, it has to be created. If the USA, being a leading proponent of civilization wants one, they should get on and help create it.

Meanwhile, I have an important battle with the golf course. I shall win against it although it's an asymmetrical war without end.

Hi rick benfield; Re: "The USA has a proven record of leading its allies to victory. Right now we are running a little short on allies."

The last time we went against our allies in a major war was in Vietnam, and then, too, we failed to lead anyone to victory.
