Yeah, par for the course, when some certainly unclear on the concept, spend their days staring at their navel in a drug induced daze thinking up things to talk about, either which MacDonalds Burger is best, or whether Condoleezza Rice is a side dish condiment from San Francisco or George Bush's  Mass Baby Killer.

NZ students offer reward for Rice's arrest

WELLINGTON, New Zealand (AP) —

New Zealand students protesting the Iraq war offered a reward to anyone who carries out a citizen’s arrest of Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice during her visit to the country Friday.

The Auckland University Students’ Association is seeking Rice’s arrest for her role in “overseeing the illegal invasion and continued occupation” of Iraq, Association President David Do said.

The group is offering a $3,700 reward. Rice is making her first trip to New Zealand after attending a Southeast Asian security forum in Singapore.

She is scheduled to arrive from Australia late Friday and fly out early Sunday. Rice, asked about the protest at a news conference Friday with the Australian foreign minister in Perth, Australia, said: “Protests are a part of the Democratic society and student protests are particularly a long honored tradition in democratic society.

I can only say that the United States has done everything that it can to end this war on terror, to live up to our international and national laws and obligations.”
