Don't have a clue who he is? Have no idea what he's done? Wish you knew who he was? Wish I wouldn't have asked? Lol. I'm a big fan of Mr Mandela.

You guys can't be serious... wikipedia Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (IPA: [xolíɬaɬa mandéːla]; born 18 July 1918) is a former President of South Africa, the first to be elected in fully representative democratic elections. Before his presidency, Mandela was an anti-apartheid activist and leader of the African National Congress and its armed wing Umkhonto we Sizwe. He spent 27 years in prison, much of it on Robben Island, on convictions for crimes that included sabotage committed while he spearheaded the struggle against apartheid. Among opponents of apartheid in South Africa and internationally, he became a symbol of freedom and equality, while the apartheid government and nations sympathetic to it condemned him and the ANC as communists and terrorists. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nelson_Mandela He's like a God! Haha.

You just have to hope the media is being objective. But Nelson Mandela is awesome Edited by X, July 4, 2008, 5:59 pm.

Seemed to think he was a singer or something. Having never met Mandela, I couldn't attest to his personal merit (hey, maybe the guy's a jerk), but he stands for something that I have no end of respect for.

That makes lots of sense, we sort of assume he's a decent guy because of everything he's done...but having never met him either, I can't so conclusively about his character. His actions are the thing to be commended. What I find entirely laughable...and wrong, is the fact he is or at least was on a watch list for terrorists in the USA. http://www.usatoday.com/news/world/2008-04-30-watchlist_N.htm Quote: Nobel Peace Prize winner and international symbol of freedom Nelson Mandela is flagged on U.S. terrorist watch lists and needs special permission to visit the USA. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice calls the situation "embarrassing," and some members of Congress vow to fix it. Embarrassing? How about illegal? It'd make more sense to me, lol. That would be like having had Mother Theresa on a most wanted list.
