    He did not get banged up for tickling people, he was the head of the anc terrorist wing, blowing **** up and killing innocent women and children.

    Well now it's upto the big man upstairs to decide where he goes....

    If you believe in that sort of thing.

    Re: nelson

    History is written by the victors.

    Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. At his trial, he had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilising terrorist bombing campaigns, which planted bombs in public places, including the Johannesburg railway station. Many innocent people, including women and children, were killed by Nelson Mandela’s MK terrorists. Tellingly, not only did Mandela refuse to renounce violence, Amnesty refused to take his case stating "the movement recorded that it could not give the name of ‘Prisoner of Conscience’ to anyone associated with violence, even though as in ‘conventional warfare’ a degree of restraint may be exercised.”
    As President he bought a lot of military hardware...and when I say a lot I mean billions of $ worth.
    He was supportive of Gaddafi and Suharto, and took considerable sums of money from them.
    The apartheid regime was a crime against humanity. It is tempting to simplify the subject by declaring that all who opposed it were wholly and unswervingly good. Its important to remember that Mandela has been the first to hold his hands up to his shortcomings and mistakes. Thel tragedy is that too many in the West can’t bring themselves to see what the man himself has said all along... that he’s just as flawed as the rest of us, and should not be put on a pedestal.

    Take from that what you will....


    ....saying that you could also class Luke Skywalker as a terrorist....but would you?
