I mistakenly posted this in the wrong thread so bringing it over here.....
Terrorist depends on which side you're looking at it from.
I can remember a time Mandela was labelled a terrorist....today he's the ultimate freedom fighter.

Mandela never blew up a bus tho did he?
blatant terrorists!
Maybe not a bus, but remember these words?....
“With our matches and our necklaces we will liberate this country†Spoken in true Winnie Mandela style.
Remember what the necklace was that she was referring to is?
A car tyre round someone’s neck, filled with petrol and set alight.
Like I said, depends which side you’re looking in from.
Unfortunately there’s no such thing as a clean fair fight, not matter what side you’re standing on.
..as you point out, the necklace quote is not attributable to Nelson Mandela..it was spoken by Winnie, his ex wife who had her own agenda and was soon ostracised by Mandela and his polictical organisations. Although it is difficult to justify any kind of terrorism which has a murderous objective..I think it is useful to remember the post war political situation in South Africa and the lack of democracy & opportunities that existed for its indigenous population.
