This states that back in 1985 we would not let nuclear ships in, so in 1986 you abolished your responsibilties to New Zealand under the ANZUS treaty.

You can boycott NZ products if you want but we were abolished from ANZUS and we are still willing to help, I can't see why we are being attacked for it.

KiwiGirl, I have a good friend who lives in Wellington who is a member of your ACT party and I can sympathize with you on what is going on here. While I believe most of your countrymen do support the U.S. it is your PM Clark who is bringing on this anti-NZ sentiment from the folks here at FreeRepublic.

Unfortunately everyone here has strong feelings about the recent events but only a handful know the true facts about your political predicament (sp?). Specifically, that your country had so many different parties running for the last election that Clark won on only about 30% of the popular vote.(That % may not be quite accurate but the fact remains that Clark certainly did not have the majority of the country behind her).

Because your country had so many different political factions that could not come come to agreement on the important issues that truly affect your country, you are now saddled with a communist bitch who is willing to sell you out to the Chinese......

So I am pleading with all the FReepers here who are condemning New Zealand to please think out your comments about NZ before posting. To condemn the great folks from NZ who are part of our FR network is the same as outsiders condemning FReepers because of all the atrocities clinton committed.

There has not been one FReeping New Zealander here who has not shown solidarity with the United States and any criticism directed towards them as a result of their communist PM Clark is unfair......

Well, we're not quite at the 'cooler heads' stage of the game yet, so feelings are running a bit hot. Remember, the Italians were being bashed well over a day after they ensured total military committment to the US, so sometimes news travels a bit slowly.

Didn't the terms of ANZUS require you to allow our war ships to dock there? By refusing, wasn't it your country telling us to get out? You seem to say it us who kicked you out. It would seem to me it was you who first kicked us out. Can't have it both ways.
