#1 Hmmm. I would imagine that Zawahiri would find the recruiting tough in a prosperous nation like Australia, but in a poor 3rd world nation like Papua New Zealand, planting the Islamofascist seed could be a real threat. You would think that after decades of Peace Corp and other NGO efforts in poverty-stricken Papua NZ you would think it would be a more stable society, but when you have no running water, and your thatched-roof hut is falling down around you, I guess Islamic extremism looks attractive.

#2 Carl in NH: I dont think that if I lived in a thatched roof hut which leaked a torrents of rain I would be interested in killing people because I lived in a thatched roof hut which leaked torrents of rain. What on earth are you talking about!!!! Peace corps be damned!! That is th US way of doing things If I want to live in a thatched roof hut that leaks, then so be it, don't mandate your ways upon me!! I have been doing this for thousands of years and I will be damned if I want a satalite TV, which may "blow out" because of the leaks in my roof and prevent me from seeing "john kerry" "note the undercase" from belching his invectives once again to the American public. This individual is not only pathetic he is dangerous.

#4 Perhaps Carl in NH is suggesting that the difference between Papua New Guinea and New Zealand is, nowadays, only superficial? :-)

#5 Shoot. Try as I might, can't get nary a nibble. Nobody from Papua New Zealand reads Rantburg ? And now Barry is fishing in my waters, too...

#6 I think you are speaking of Papua New Guinea. New Zealand is the first world island who lives in the opposite side of Australia and whose people raise sheep, play rugby, win America Cup and produce Oscar-winning movies.

#7 I hear the Hobbits of PNZ are cannibalistic.

#9 I never have understood how the simple (yet scientific) natives of PNZ ever put together an Americans Cup winner.
