All the parts ? You must be joking. I bet that about 99.9 percent of the people who know anything about apartheid would disagree with you. The radical rightists on this forum would not, but they are not grounded in reality. You're on the wrong sided of history, Ginny. Rarely has their ever been a statesman with the spiritual values Mendela possessed. But you wouldn't understand that.

Nelson Mandela was the head of UmKhonto we Sizwe, (MK), the terrorist wing of the ANC and South African Communist Party. He had pleaded guilty to 156 acts of public violence including mobilizing 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 Mandelas MK terrorists.
During his 27 years in prison, Mandela was offered a full pardon if he would publically denounce terrorism. He refused.
