Hey Taha,

I've tried to stay out of this, but I need to ask you a few questions:

1) Is your real name Derock?

2) Regarding superiority, intelligence, and all that bull, what would be your elitist attitude if our beloved President Bush sent a few little boats, planes, and 'inferior' troops your way? Bring on your intellectual babble and tell a Stealth bomber with pinpoint targeting how smart you are. I'm sure that you will outsmart them! (by the way, our troops are colorless and from every ethnic persuasion; Hell there might even be a few "Maorians" in there, but they're all Americans and that's all you need to know, so quit with the racist crap)

3) Defaming Patton. I don't really care, but you can take anything out of context and make a case for it. Our liberal politicians do it all of the time. Maybe we should call you Taha "Clinton" Maori! War is hell, not pretty, and atrocities happen. My question, did Patton do more good or evil?

4) Did you infer that the U.S. doesn't do well in international competition because we're not big fans of rugby, soccer, and Maori football? We only win "world championships" within the U.S.? (I agree the term "world championship" is used pariochially and missused), but don't belittle our athletes. Just watch the next "world" Olympics.

5) I apologize if our independence and freedom makes us a bit arrogant. It's not on purpose or intended; instead I think it's just the difference between creating a new culture as we did a few hundred years ago vs. continuing in a tradition steeped in monarch rule.

6) Really, other than for the sport of dueling with you, this isn't the place for this discourse. My suggestion is that you publish a chat room or message board that you can invite others to attend if they are interested and leave this board for serious discussion of our inferior game of football. We as officials are not as enlightened as you Maorians. We actually need to keep studying to raise our collective consciousness.

Happy Trails, Taha!
