Well in my mind his potted history goes a bit like this.
As a youngster he was an intelligent, well spoken and sincere Anti Apartheid activist and he spoke out against using violence for the cause. He go bored with that and started blowing things and people up and was sent to jail for over 20 years.
While rotting in Jail, aided by the western boycott the South Africans came to their senses, Apartheid was given the elbow, and he was let out.
HE became president and cocked up his succession and left a load of corrupt and evil people in his place.
Now all in all I wouldn't have thought that was worth pinning sainthood on his shoulders.
Someone put me right if this is fundamentally wrong.
