Question

If Nelson Mandela is so great, what is stopping Brown and his toadies from taking a few lessons from his book?

Answer 1

he was a terrorist

Answer 2

Good idea.  Send them all to prison for 27 years, and see what sort of a job they do when they get out.

Different circumstances completely. Mandela's exploits  remind me of Winston Churchill's achievements during WW11 when against all odds they came through to achieve their goals.

Answer 4

Like what?

Mandela commanded the military wing of the ANC Umkhonto we Sizwe.

Mandela orchestrated a bombing campaign against government and economic targets

.

Mandela invented the "M" plan small terrorist cells used since then to great effect by such luminarys as the ira and others.

Mandela refused to either denounce or renounce violence as a political tool.

Which of these lessons do you suggest?

Answer 5

nelson mandela was a terrorist. lets not forget that!

yes he was right about racial equality, but he sponsored terrorist acts which is why he was imprisoned.

we should not take any lessons from terrorists.

Ghandi was an excellent example of how to right the wrongs of society without violence. brown should take a lesson from him!

Answer 6

Political correctness and international law unfortunately!

Answer 7

Since when do politicans like to get told how to do their jobs.

I mean, they are only 'public servants' after all.
