    The only enemies we take seriously are those countries who can beat us at team sports (specifically, Cricket, Rugby and Netball - but also Women's Basketball :p ).

    Thus, the Kiwis are both our closest allies and our most feared enemies.

    If there was war I'd watch out for the Emus :p

    In fact, there already was a war with the Emus, and the Aussies lost it :p
    Here's a video about "The Great Emu War" on Youtube by OverSimplified

    Yes that is what I was referring to. It's probably my favorite historical event and I talk about it often :p

    I'd watch out for cassowaries in a war, they seem a LOT more dangerous than Emus...:rolleyes:

    If we're now discussing times people stupidly involved animals in war then let us not forget the time America almost dropped bat bombs (which are exactly what they sound like) on Japan.
