Mandela repudiated the ANC violent tactics. He admitted and owned up to their human rights violations. Has Bush?
I believe a wrong can be righted even after 20+ years. If Bush had've been forthright and transparent when the bottom began to follow out of his arguments for invading a sovreign nation I'd feel different.
And with respect to my political agenda, I thought this was a political forum complete with frames of reference from across the spectrum. ]I think your insinuations are a weak attempt to discredit my propositons subsequent embarrasment at Nelson Mandela being blacklisted. Lets stick to the point @ issue, and it seems at if your implying such labeling is justified.

Please try to read my quotes a little better. I said you got the "terrorist
watch list thing" wrong. Not the "whole terrorist thing" wrong.
I merely pointed out that you started a thread implying that it's the current administrations fault that Mandela is on the terrorist watch list. In fact, the entire ANC has been on the list for years. You didn't mention that Mandela was on the list through Democratic administrations. At the beginning of the thread, I pointed out what you had left out because your statement was lacking in accurate information.
Now, I may not be very smart because I don't use a lot of 10 cent words in my posts, but could you please tell me what the heck the statement I highlighted means? As for me justifying Mandela being labled a terrorist, you couldn't be more wrong. I have never defended him being on the list, nor do I believe he should be there. I only gave the information that you conveniently left out because it didn't fit your position.
