NOW They Want To Help

new zealand would like to be involved in mine clearing in iraq once the war is over, reports the nz herald.

"Everyone is trying to work out a way in which they can help despite not having been part of a war and not being part of an occupying force," said prime minister helen clark.

well, everyone except the people who *have* been part of a war...they don't need to work anything out.

Foreign Affairs Minister Phil Goff said he was sure the United States needed a multilateral involvement in post-war Iraq.

"The United States is the only superpower economically and militarily," he said. "But I am sure the United States does not want to take on singe-handedly the role of trying to create a new administration in Iraq and will want to have a mandate from a multilateral organisation."

a mandate? like from the nearly fifty other countries who are already supporting us in our efforts to liberate iraq? i think we can probably count on those guys for all the help we need. but thanks, mr. goff.

and shame on helen clark for insinuating that australia is only supporting the united states so they can lock up a free trade agreement. perhaps she will regret her remarks next time she comes around looking for one herself.

*snicker* Now, now. Be nice to the little guy. I am sure that was taken straight from the pages of the Iraqi Information Ministry's handbook. Page 47, paragraph 2.... "No matter how insignifigant you are, always act as if people give a shit about what your opinions are."

ideas matter, no matter how big or small you might be.

While we're small, New Zealand has caused worldwide fuss before. Our ideas matter as much as anyones, I think. Why shouldn't they? Just because I don't live in a big country does it mean I should I feel inferior to those that do? I think people from our country have made worldwide impact, both in thought and action. Helen Clark is not one of them. Our inaction in this case is lamentable. Either stay out of it completely or get in, boots and all. This toe-dipping annoys me. I don't think a free trade agreement is possible in the forseeable future for us. Comments like this don't do a lot for relations. But, while she may be right, she goes and apologises for it. Will she ever say something she won't take back?? Does she believe in anything? She's one of the weakest leaders we've had. This is possibly one of the weakest populations we've had too.
