Mandela? He isn't a neutral, he has already made his support for the Iraqi dictator a matter of public record!

If we time it right we can get Mandela and Saddam. Myabe Rep. Norm Dicks wants to make another visit?

I'd rather have him to sent to that place in Africa where anti-government rebels are eating pygmies for not providing them with enough food. Maybe Mandela can help the pygmies find some more food - and if not, well, too bad.

I am still wishing for one of Saddam's close associates to put a bullet between his eyes, and become the new hero. As long as the new hero has the direction to all the hidden WMD, we should encourage such a move?

Damn, one terrorist mediating on behalf of another. Now that's UN logic on parade.

What about this 15 billion that Bush has promised to help with the AIDS epidemic in Africa? I say we withdraw the money earmarked for South Africa and divide it equally among the other African nations that need it. It's a tradeoff. You don't bite the hand that feeds....or heals in this case.

At the wrong time, this might not be good. We need to be positioned to make sure the right leader and government follow behind Hussein. If a new leader arises, we want him pro-western, at least a peaceful leader of a populace that can vote for his removal.

Why is Nelson Mandela behaving so arrogantly? Is it because the President of the United States is a white man?
