Thats about what I wrote, at one time or another, every country is guilty
of the same thing (allowing genocide). I don't know if Australia is still
allowing it or not, but I am sure there are more than a handful of countries
that are. But let's not argue about semantics, but see what else you have
to say...

Wow, Moz - second word (1) I've read today (also in the month's I have
been on Lugnet) that I did not know. BTW, if you are going to use words
that I don't know, please spell them correctly (in US English), OK? Anyway,
who are the Maori? Sounds like beings from Star Wars.
So you are saying that the Brits and people in power in New Zealand
decided against using genocide, because they weren't capable of carrying it
out? Or am I really lost? If thats what you mean, then good for them, and
thanks for answering the question (you could have said the Cayman Islands,
too).

Smartass! :-)

1 - the other word I did not recognize was Moz' stevodoring (which in
America is stevedoring). Thanks Moz, you made my day, and its still early.
