And when we have a real regional security situation in Honiara, the Solomon Is capital we find the Foriegn Minister waiting for morning tea before Australia responds.

The troops should have been in the air or have landed. Their arrrival may have calmed a situation that clearly the RAMSA police cannot end.

If it does stop before troops arrive it will be because everyone is busy getting their looted goods home, not because orded was restored.

The lid is barely on rascal elements and a firm and rapid response needs to be shown.

This failure will mean a repeat the next itme a decision by one tribe upsets another gang.

Yeah, the White Man must come to the rescue.  The Solomon Islanders must thank their lucky stars they don’t have oil.
