U.S. and Libya
Sir,—l have sent the following letter to our Prime Minister. Last night Mr Reagan declared not-quite-war on Colonel Gadaffi and his people. Over the last century New Zealand has fought in more “public” wars than any other nation on Earth. We could, with good authority, tell Colonel Gadaffi and his
friends, “Terrorism is nice but you can’t beat the real thing.” Yet.our inclinations have changed, and your timely leadership has enabled our. most warlike nation to turn back from the ultimate insantiy" — to say “No”- to the nuclear swordi We now see peace, not war as the only option.. As. a nation we know to love our brothers. Irt the final 'analysis all men are one. We must- do what we can to help all men of all nations live in peace. I beg that you, as leader of this nation of warriors (retired) intercede in this new madness in the name of peace and love. — Yours, etc., NIGEL WILLIAMS. January 9, 1986.
