Nelson Mandela-Terrorist list??

A couple of days ago,the US govt did Nobel Peace Prize Winner Nelson Mandela a favour by removing him from their terrorist list!!

That was one of the most bizzare things I ve heard in the recent times.I admit that the terrorist list drawn out by the US govt is pretty elaborate,but nelson Mandela??!! C mon..

Condelezza Rice did admit that it was a mistake and efforts had been made and subsequently Mandela's name was removed from the list. Now his 90th birthday celebrations are coming up at Hyde Park,U.S and its due to be attended by a large list of dignitaries from around the world and maybe this was the birthday present given to him by the government of the United States of America!!

That also made me actually take a moment and think about the great leader.He is undoubtedly the greatest leader Africa has ever produced. The countries in the African continent has been ruled by men who are either completely oppressive ( Dictators like Idi Amin Dada from Uganda springs to mind ) or by leaders who were revolutionaries once upon a time and have remained in power for too long and have started abusing it( A good example is Mr Robert Mugabe, the current Zimbabwean president/ruler/dictator,he has been leading since Zimbabwe's independence in 1980 and has abused power to a large extent,which has left Zimbabwe's economy in shambles ).

He is the last standing revolutionary of his generation. (Our very own Mahatma was his conuterpart ).Let us take a moment to thank Mandela for all that he has done to mankind in general and the third world countries in particular.

Thank You Nelson Mandela. Wishing you a very happy 90th birthday.
May your legacy live on forever and be an inspiration for the current and future generation revolutionaries.
