Terrorist Stunt

Kia Ora,

Well done the Sunday Star-times. This is what I have being on about since returning from Iraq. NZ has just had its bubble burst by 14 people walking into Super 14  Rugby games & the security being so lax they actually got into players tunnels etc by all accounts.

Now all we hear is complaints that no one was told it was going to happen.

Wake up! Suicide bombers don't give warnings.

The problem is very few people here, apart from those of us who have worked in Iraq or Afghanistan, actually understand what they are facing.

An even bigger issue is the mindset of New Zealanders. The view that NZ is a safe place, means that no adequate protection is in place & people don't  think it is required. I have just watched the Minister of Police say as much.

They need to get their collective head out of the sand. The MInister has no idea what she is talking about.



Because NZ is seen as a 'safe' place a terrorist attack here will have a greater impact both here & world wide than one in India or South Africa & will be much easier to carry out as shown by the undercover reporters.

Why do people think 9/11 has being so successful? Because the US at that stage thought like NZ that it was safe.

Funny thing is a later article on tonights news is about the Fire service being brought up to speed in light of 9/11.

Many immigrants agree with my assessment. It is just Kiwis who don't think it will ever happen. As a nation we tend to act the same way as the US post the Oklahoma bombing. Collective Amnesia. If we believe it won't happen, it won't.

The modern terrorist doesn't think in a normal thought process.

For one I beleive I have met at least one likely suicide bomber in this country & as I have said in a previous blog, most would be very surprised as to who that is.

Yes, I could wait until something happens. But the changes need to happen now! If lives are to be saved.
