The way you seem to suggest that anyone involved in violent activities against even the most corrupt state shouldn't be "held up" by the western media, or have his achievements recognised.

no i am saying Nelson Mandela is or at least was a terrorist thats it, please feel free to prove me wrong on this.
Oh and stop saying violent acts against the state, it was violent acts against the innocent citizens. </BLOCKQUOTE>
You can put the label "terroist" on a lot of historical/political figures, don't really see why your so insistent on this label? </BLOCKQUOTE>
nicely side stepped again -
is/was NM a terrorist? one word will do.....
am not insistent on the label just pointing it out to those insistent on claiming he is the greatest living human, thats all. </BLOCKQUOTE>
From what I know he did partake in/organize acts of terroism, so yes, at that time he was a terroist.
Still seems to have been a major, amjor force for good though - and think he largely deserves most of his reputation.
