    Made it as far as the first few minutes of Efc|Efc+ Foreign Minister Winston PetersrCO interview on Al Jazeera an hour or two ago. That was about as much as I could stand, he was verging on complete incoherence.

    He tends to swallow his words at the best of times, but I pity the international audience for that segment, who might be unfamiliar with a
    Kiwi accent anyway, trying to understand what he was saying. On top of the fact that what he was saying was a lot of deflection and dissembling
    anyway, trying to excuse NZ not recognizing a Palestinian state and
    claiming that recent events supported his (our?) position, instead of reinforcing its vacuousness.

    What nonsense. You simply don't understand clear language, an inherted trait perhaps.
    And our decision with respect to Gaza was the only right one, and you know it deep down.

    Only Iranians don't understand Winston, and you. Wait a minnit...

    Only Iranians are so obsessed with this, and you. Not a word about
    our election? Iranians wouldn't know about it, nor you, right?
