Blood on your hands doesnt wash off just with soap and water
Nonsense , go read your history , and why do you use inverted commas for freedom , does it not appeal you or is it a commodity privileged only to the elite few. Mandela led his anti apartheid party to victory , every nation on earth has bestowed upon Mandela an honour.
May I also ask you , where on earth have you been during the last 18 years , your tone in saying [ "So let me get this straight.

translates into total aghast at the thought that Mandela is a revered figure through out the world !!! As for you comparing Mandela to Bin Laden may I say what a load of bull mate, never heard so much rubbish in all my life , Bin Laden a dedicated fanatic who wants to destroy the West , Mandela who wanted his people free from oppression and did no harm to those that imprisoned him for 19 years you thinks is comparable to Bin Laden.
What did you have for breakfast !
