David Lange Dies Former New Zealand Prime Minister
David Lange has Died the Former New Zealand Prime Minister, was best known for his anti Nuclear stance, and for not allowing US Nuclear ships into our ports, which resulted in some scantions by the US on New Zealand.

The vice president at the time, George Bush, said Nukes were a deterrent and would stop war happening and our decision was backwards.

An unknown scoure in the WhiteHouse also said, if we want information from a south pacific Island Nation we would wait for a message in a bottle.
