Did he actually murder anyone? Genuine question. I suppose the real question is at what point is it ever justified to protest agaisnt the way you're being treated through violent means?
In summary. He was a racist murdering ****. He got locked up. He got released. He got elected to power. He ****ed up his own country. He died.
Nope, just a bit of a brass neck for a British Army cheerleader to be throwing words like murderer and terrorist about. Mandela done what was right to correct an injustice. Simple as that.
Does that not depend on how extreme the injustice towards you is though Pud? Let's say a Muslim became Prime Minister in the UK and then decreed that there would be an appartheid system where non muslims were distinctly second class and even sub human and did not get the vote. Would it not be justifiable for people to try and bring down that government by foul means guiven that doing it fairly was out of the question?
Going by your logic the Germans who tried to kill Hitler by blowing him up during the war were terrorists, murderers and criminals.
Dan .. you make a good point but I'm too hungover to keep this going, I cannot give a reply to this other than I'd move ...
