From the National Review.
I don't necessarily agree with all of Peter's reasoning but I found it an
interesting read. You may as well, or not.

I found the last paragraph
"And, in a roundabout way, the Maori have made their peace with
globalization. They are "normal" now in the new sense of acting like any
other interest group that pays itself in the lighter-than-air coinage of
symbolic victimhood. To be the self-declared victim of a mild-mannered toy
company may seem a small thing when your ancestors trounced British armies
and fought colonial militias to a standstill, but times change. I look
forward to the day when the descendants of Pashtun warlords too are griping
about intellectual-property rights."
especially amusing.
