World Cup Rugby 2011

Kia Ora,

Over the last few days there have being reports that England are looking at not sending a team to the Commonwealth Games due to security threat.

Just wait until the look at NZ security set up in depth for the Rugby World Cup. There will need to be a 1000% improvement or Australia will just take the World Cup again. The main area though is not just the training. that can be done in three weeks, it is the change in mindset.

That doesn't mean security stop greeting in a friendly manner first up. It does mean they start using a wider view of how they look at & carry out the security tasks assigned to them.

To say that there is no threat such as terrorism in NZ is a myth.

First we have had terrorist attacks here before, but everyone forgets. Secondly daily we have terrorism in the form of organized crime. By the definition used in the US organized crime is the greatest terrorist threat there both prior to & since 9/11. At present time in NZ organized crime is the greatest terrorist threat. Organized crime are likely to assist any extremist group.

The terror raids in Tuhoe caught people that belong to some of the greatest terrorist groups in the world at present. Animal rights & Eco greens are higher rated in the UK than the IRA & were prior to 9/11.

People forget the world war two maxium. "The biggest threat is the belief there is no threat".

Just a few things to think on.
