We often take sinners to our midst.
Think of the current leadership of Sinn Fein who are now MPs
Mandela authorised acts of violence but to him he was fighting a war for freedom. It is an often quoted phrase but "one mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter".
What makes this man great was his ability to move on and from his past. It is not as if he did not pay for his crimes with the time he spent in prison and he potentially stopped the country descending in to a bloody civil was like the many other African countries.
