Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  (CNN) Kei te whakararuraru ō toa i a koe? Ehara ko koe anake. Ko te nuinga o te iwi e hiahia ana kia whai tauira, kia whai tangata hei whakamana, hei whai i a ia. Engari i ētahi wā: Ka hinga! Ki te kore e mahia e nga toa nui a ratou mahi whakamataku i roto i nga pukapuka pakiwaituhi, i nga kiriata ranei, ka taka ratou i te paepae; ka pakaru pea ki te whenua, ka pakaru ki nga wahi maha rawa hei whakatika. Ka mahue te kaiwhaiwhai i te ngakau maru, i te pouri ranei. Mēnā e hiahia ana koe ki te tino mīharo i tētahi tangata, kaua koe e titiro tata rawa. Mēnā e hiahia ana koe ki te whakamīharo ki a rātou, me whakarite koe mō te iti rawa o te tinihanga. I roto i te ao tōrangapū, kei te tīmata noa iho te wā o te tirotiro me ngā whakakitenga me Hillary Clinton me āna mahi īmēra hei minita o te kāwanatanga i raro i te mātakitaki. Whai muri i te huihuinga pānui i te United Nations i te Turei, ka puta ake ano nga awangawanga kei te nui rawa tana huna me te whakaaro. Ki ētahi o ngā kaitautoko pakeke, e pā ana tēnei ki ngā kaupapa tōrangapū a te Rōpū Reipa e kino ana ki a Clinton. Engari ki te hunga i whakaaro pea ki a Clinton hei tauira me te whakaaweawe, ka whakaara ake pea i nga feaa. He toa a Hillary, kāore rānei i te pono? Ranei, he whakautu kē atu rānei? Mo au, e rua ngā tāngata i noho hei toa nui. I ngā wiki e rua kua pahure ake nei, i te wā o taku haerenga ki te Middle East, i tino waimarie ahau ki te tūtaki ki tētahi tangata kua roa nei au e whakamihi ana: te Perehitini o Liberia me te toa Nobel Peace Prize a Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. I whai wāhitanga ahau ki te kōrero ki a ia, ā, ko te kōrero i nui ake ai taku mīharo ki a ia. He wahine tino whakaaweawe. I whakairihia e au he whakaahua o te Perehitini me au, e karanga ana ki a ia "ku toa", he kupu kāore au i te whakamahi noa. I muri mai, ka tae mai he whakautu (kua mukua) mai i tētahi hononga Twitter e whakamōhio ana ki a au, he kino te rekoata a Sirleaf mō ngā tika o ngā tāngata taupatupatu, ā, kua pānuitia e ia, ka kore ia e whakaae ki te haina i tētahi pire hei whakamutu i ngā whiunga herehere mō ngā tāngata Liberians taupatupatu. I whakamahara mai te kaupapa ki ahau i te mea i pa ki tetahi atu wahine i tino whakamiharo ahau i roto i nga tau, te manapori Burmese...
Frida Ghitis: Kei te whakararuraru ō toa i a koe? Ehara ko koe anake. He mea whakamiharo ngā kaiārahi pēnei i a Ellen Johnson Sirleaf me Aung San Suu Kyi, engari ehara i te mea tino pai.
