Sorry to disappoint you but I'm in the sandpit. Which reminds me, the Nauruans used to be called the Arabs of the Pacific. You have some valid points there on that one. They did lord it over their neighbours for a couple of decades. But even their neighbours can see that they (Nauru) are a shadow of their former selves. In fact, they are 'below average' as far as standard of living goes.
The Solomons should realise that a few leaders of the past, most of whom a 6 feet under and who had ruined Nauru and it's reputation and who had left no inheritance behind for it's people, are no longer there. Instead, a desperate ragtag of a government is trying it's darnest to patch up whatever damage that has been done and should therefore understand.
