So the new government has sent 70 of our elite SAS troops to Afghanistan. I feel sullied and surprised by the lack of protest. The usual rhetoric from our Prime Minister about containing (not defeating) terrorism actually means kissing the arse of America and Australia so they believe we are part of their silly and deluded world that thinks by killing women and children they can stop the spread of hatred.
Of course I abhor the bombing of innocents by the Taleban also but instead of looking to their religion for an answer look at where the hatred has its origins.
To the people of Afghanistan I say sorry, I wanted no part of your invasion.

your attitude is praiseworthy, chook...
our world needs human beings like you...
be well
ps. your art is great as always... really impressed by your works...
It must be very hard HB to have your country caught up in the theatre of war. We are totally isolated down here and have no idea what it must be like. I feel helpless to help but know my thoughts are with you and I'll keep on annoying my fellow NZers to make them see we have no place in Afghanistan.
Thanks for the art critique, it means a lot to me.
