The death of Nelson Mandela

[L Verge]

In the past two days, I have had two people send me information on the young Nelson Mandela and his tactics as a Communist revolutionary and terrorist before being sent to prison. I knew nothing about that period in his life - had never heard of him until he was released from prison back when I was in college. Based on what the world has been told about him since 1990, what a wonderful transition he apparently made in his actions.

We have heard so many say that "Mandiba" was a sign of hope. If he made such a transition, then yes, there is hope that others may change their actions so dramatically in the name of peace and human rights.
