In my letter 'Kingdom of Tonga' dated 13/12/07 I said that - quote "I am also baffled as to why a Lawyer chooses to publish an explosive letter to the world and in doing so by-passes or seeks to by-pass the Judiciary System altogether, where criminal cases related to 16/11 incidents are waiting to be heard." Today, I decided to do a bit of research about this Lawyer to see who he really is. I typed in his name to the search box, hit the return key and bingo! Now, I would like to address Mr Harder on this Forum and invite him to explain to the Tongan People the real reason behind the Peace Plan for Tonga. He wrote and published this farcical plan knowing that the possibility of any of it ever happening is virtually Nil. - Senolita Swan

Major Lieutenant Col. Fakalolo stated in an article at tonga-now.to that the TDS (Tonga Defense Service) would be growing to 1500 personnel. The tonga-broadcasting.com also had a recent article about the TDS receiving weapons and ammunition from the US Army. - Joe Smith

As Tongans we are all responsible for the Kingdom of Tonga's future United we stand but divided we shall all fall those whom ignore history will always be doomed to repeat it again, Tonga's existence was build on sacrifice, blood, sweat and sometimes tears and vision without sacrifice we become our only worst enemy as was shown on the 16 November 2006. - Andrew Fifita

Since the 16/11/06 event, when the mob of anarchists looted and burned down our beloved Capital, with political counter-allegations of countless kinds afterwards as an excuse for their failure to keep themselves at bay with the democratic principles of wisdom, temperance, courage and justice, certain matters are being virtually emerged as actual attributes that seem to have caused this catastrophe, together with some continuing effects of highly disputable and unresolved nature. - Siosiua Tofua‘ipangai

We keep hearing about how the Tongan Government is financially broke. With so many PhDs per capita, how can this be? Can...’t any of you come up with a good idea and execute it successfully? Here are three major reform suggestions from a slow country palangi to get the ball moving with a fresh start when parliament reopens. - Joe Smith

It seems the continuing bantering and rhetoric by the pro-Temo leaders knows no boundaries. The article published by Mr. Akilisi Pohiva in response to a previous article by Mr. Senituli, exhibits a political ...‘tethering...’ mentality ...– a war of words to see who can lay claim as the real playground bully. - ‘Alipate Sanft

I wish to thank Sione Lousiale Kava for the expression of honesty in dealing with the Faifekau (whichever denomination he might have come from) who once appeared in Pangai Si‘i on the events leading up to 16/11. I am also glad that the opportunity for Mr. Kava to commit murder thankfully did not come his way while he was in Tonga. To do so would only exacerbate the already deteriorating situation in the country. However, in my capacity as a church minister (which by God's grace I wholeheartedly embrace), I partly support his course of action relating to this particular church minister who in some way was involved (perhaps merely by his presence at Pangai Si‘i) in inciting the violence of 16/11. - Rev.

I am disagreeing with Lopeti Senituli that his Press Statement was his "opinions and conclusions........and not that of the Government of Tonga." Here are my reasons for disagreeing with Lopeti Senituli: - Sosaia Fatani
