Re: No.
Sigh
Look, I'm not blaming on my tablet. But any position at all can look silly when shrunken down to a single sentence. Doesn't help when the general sentiment here is either or with 2 extremes. People keep going back to the notion that either Mandela did what he did or a long bloody civil war with thousands of deaths on both sides. False dilemma.
This was a good opportunity for some compromises being reached. Instead, the pro apartheid got to have their cake and eat it too.
