Interesting to see the reactions and statements about Nelson Mandela from the British and Australian governments....at the time the conservative governments supported apartheid...and conservative governments are in again in both countries ....so be prepared for a tsunami of hypocrisy .. he was one of the great men and humble to boot

Amazing to remember (and mostly forgotten by the MSM) that according to Reagan and American conservatives, Nelson Mandela was a "terrorist" while a group of mercenary thugs like the Contras were 'the moral equivalent of the founding fathers.'

Nice find. Also nice to see Lou Reed in this.

Thanks!
