This image from the NZ Herald is very important for New Zealand. It represents the closure of one of the most embarassing chapters of New Zealand history. At last Ahmed Zaoui and his family are reunited.
One can but hope that a picture like this... of a family reunited after so many years... so many years that New Zealand tax payer funded officials have contributed to... might just make some of these tax payer funded officials realise that the cost of "security" can be too high.
In many respects the terrorist movements have won in countries like New Zealand... even though we have not seen the carnage of a 9/11 event... by the very fact that we have turned paranoid and surrendered some of the stuff that makes us who we are as a nation. Perhaps the only way to beat the terrorist is to ignore or forgive them.
