Postovana Gospodo, u nastavku Vam saljem pismo prijatelja sa NZ: Saljem seriju tekstova iz NZ Heralda (uglavnom pisma citalaca) iz kojih se vidi sta dobronamjerni Kiviji porucuju Amerikancima. Naravno, novine su pune i sasvim drugacijih komentara, od kojih cu vas postediti kako ne bih vrijedjao vasu inateligenciju. Za mene je najvaznija poruka Frank Hitchcocka iz koje proizilazi da se iza napada na Ameriku kriju daleko kompleksniji uzroci opsteg nezadovoljsta poretkom stvari u svijetu, nego sto to javno mijenje, uglavnom dirigovano iz Amerike, zeli prikazati. Down with the "moneyed class"! Pozdrav, Nebojsa Joveljic (Auckland) ==================== Kiwis more wary NZ Herald, 18 September 2001 New Zealanders and Britons show less support for possible military anti-terrorist attacks by the US than Australians, a poll has revealed. The survey was conducted by Roy Morgan International shortly after Wednesday's tragedy. It showed that while just less than half of Australian supported the US attacking countries harbouring terrorists, only 42 per cent of respondents in Britain and New Zealand supported such a proposal. In New Zealand, more were against attacks than in favour of them, with 46 per cent saying they should not be launched. ======================== A sada, nekoliko interesantnih pisama citalaca iz NZ Heralda: =================== Two wrongs do not make a right! - Source: Mum, 1983 ================ Maybe I am naive, maybe I'm just too young to understand. What I don't understand is war. How can the people of America experience such a brutal attack on thousands of innocent lives, experience the overwhelming feeling of loss and helplessness, see young children go home to no parents, watch firefighters dig out their friends, smell the smell of death, acknowledge the event as pure evil - and then turn around and demand that the United States Government take revenge and retribution with a military attack, forcing thousands more innocent people to experience what they themselves still cannot come to term with? Or perhaps it's the young and naive who really do understand. Emma McConnell Whangaparaoa =================== Like everyone, I was shocked and sickened by the incredible American tragedy and personal anguish which is ongoing. But I'm also becoming sickened by what could be termed the egophobia of America, in which American suffering is the only suffering that counts. S. Jacobs Nelson ================ Why is so little being asked about the role of the US in creating the very monster that is threatening it? The CIA armed and probably ensured the survival of the Teleban in the 1980s, in much the same way that they created their other demon, Saddam Hussein. S. van Wyk Otahuhu ============ George Bush's proposal war against terrorism will be nothing of the sort. It will be the reaction of a bully-boy to receiving a bloody nose - to lash out largely indiscriminately and rain death from the skies on all and soundry. America will add to the 20 countries it has bombed since the Second World War and will ensure that terrorism continues for the next generation of American citizens to suffer its effects. John Minto Sandringham ================== The horrendous loss of life in the New York terrorist attack was the first rumblings of a social volcano. It is not possible that men all over the world would bear in silence the iniquities of a social establishment which allows over 90 per cent of the world's wealth to be concentrated into the hands of 5 per cent of its population. The financial establishment's push for globalisation and world free trade is a rallying point for millions of angry people. Their fight against the privileges of the moneyed class will be infinitely more bloody than the struggles for democracy in 19th-century Europe. Frank Hitchcock Glen Eden ================== I was appalled to read the letter from John Foote in which he said any state found to have made possible the terrorist attack in New York should be forcibly occupied by the United States and its allies. He says the forceful occupation of Japan and Germany is a lesson in how to convert rogue states into peaceful contributors to world tolerance. Does he not remember the huge cost in human lives which was required in five years of world war to achieve the occupation of Japan and Germany? Does he forget the hundreds of thousands of lives lost when another superpower, Russia, tried to occupy Afghanistan and was even then unsuccessful? P. J. Andell Bayswater ================== Na kraju, jedan citalac koji je vjerovatno imao na umu "srpsko poimanje casti i nacionalnog dostojanstva", kad je napisao sljedeci prijedlog: Why doesn't the US offer Afghanistan the $20 billion emergency military budget as aid in exchange for bin Laden and his terrorist accomplices to face trial? Do we need to inflict revenge on relatively helpless innocent people in the hope that we hit the few guilty ones. Mike Power Howick Na zalost US=NWO, Afganistanci nisu Srbi dosmanlije pa sam siguran da cak ni za basnoslovnih $20 milijardi dolara nece predati u ruke dusmanima uglednog gosta u SVOJOJ zemlji, kao sto, je bin Laden, a kamoli da bi im isporucili predsjednika svoje zemlje. Tako i treba, svak cast afganistanskim borcima; nek se djeca po Njemackoj ponovo imaju kome diviti ko sto su se nekad masovno divila hrabrim supermenima Srbima. Pozdrav Branko O.
