ARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! Dear God NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Apparently, Time magazine have us listed as part of the US illegal invasion and occupation and torture and general FUBAR, sorry I mean the "Coalition of the Willing". More like the coalition of those who are either too chicken to say no to the US, or are more interested in furthering their own interests ahead of a)law and b)the needs of those poor fucks in Iraq who having survived Saddam, now have to deal with the Holier-Than-Thou fucking hypocritical regime of George the Selected.
NZ having any part in that action goes against all prior evidence as to our position on ANYTHING. When the US wanted to park a nuclear powered sub in a NZ port, like, overnight, we told them to fuck off. Cos we're nuclear free, and damn proud of it.
The fact that there are Kiwis in Iraq, and one of the poor fuckers has just been killed apparently, does not mean that we support the US in any way, shape or form.
New Zealanders are there as part of an international effort to clean up the great bloody mess that Saddam started and George W made worse.
Saddam is a bad man, there is no denying that. But that small-fucking-minded US president letting people believe that a) Saddam had something to do with September 11(11/9, by the way, 9/11 is the 9th of November), and then b) having the audacity to claim that it was his personal responsibility, because he cared about the people of Iraq, to get rid of Saddam, the same guy that up until about FIVE FUCKING MINUTES before George got selected by the Supreme Court to be Prez (loosest possible definition of that word please) was supported and funded and probably had his car serviced and feet rubbed by the US. Don't forget the approximately 1 million Iraqis who died due to the sanctions imposed by the US. But no, there are no votes, no oil contracts, and no friends to be made in supporting sustainable democratic development, in letting a people make their own decisions, control their own resources through transparent financial mechanisms, supporting measures of social capital, creating infrastructure, thereby creating jobs...
But then, nobody is making bombs and guns and tanks, and then thousands of American voters are out of a job. Nevermind that millions of Iraqis are dead or dying.
New Zealanders are in Iraq to help rebuild their country. And we are proud of them, and our hearts go out to the family of that poor bugger who got shot tonight.
The US military have succeeded in uniting Iraq in one way, both Shia'a and Sunni hate them with a fierce loathing. Well done George.
NEW ZEALAND IS NOT PART OF THE "COALITION OF THE WILLING", AND WE WOULD RATHER BECOME THE NEXT STATE OF AUSTRALIA BEFORE THAT HAPPENED
This is why I swore I was never going to be a political blogger, I get all angry and rant and now I'm going to be late for dinner with my Dad.

Come on, bring the hatemail, I'm waiting.
