2. Did South Africa "survive" the end of apartheid ?
And it's a better place (in some ways at least) now.

Does wearing a gun while speaking at the UN or anywhere else make one's remarks Orwellian (or Kafkaesque) ? Violence and the threat of violence is one thing. Propaganda and the destruction of language as a vehicle for understanding reality is another, and to my mind far worse.

Congratulations on your honesty in admitting that you don't care what happens with the West Bank or Gaza. As it happens, however, the original occupants of those areas do care, and it might be wise for you to take their concerns seriously.
