Terrorist

I still haven't made my mind up. Terrorism, like history, tends to written (in the long run) by the victors. Look at what he left behind (including 'Winnie')..........the country is still rules by corruption.

A great man gone. Rest easy.

When he won the presidency he could have taken different routes. Oppress the white minority and effectively make himself a Mugabe like dictator? No, he chose unification, reconciliation, and stepped down after one term. He was a great man and the world is poorer without him.

I can't improve on that. RIP Mr Mandela.

Sad. I hope his family don't spoil his legacy with infighting.

I am always of split mind on this - but I am generally of the opinion we can never move forward in anything unles we learn to forget the past - where Ireland is still going wrong.
