Someone should remind Nelson Mandela if it weren't for the U.S and its support of the anti-apartheid movement, he'd probably wind up dead in prison of old age. What we have is an unreconstructed communist bitter at the fact the U.S is sending a message to tyrants everywhere, particularly his good friend Fidel Castro. The days of those who crush their people's aspirations for freedom while threatening the peace of the world are numbered. And that's where we Americans part company with the former South African President: we see America as a force for good in the world. All the more so after the events of 9-11, where as our President indicated in his speech at Ellis Island, that we mean to finish what our enemies began and we are deadly serious in settling accounts with them. Mandela can go and take his anti-American diatribe and stick it where the sun don't shine.

Bingo. How much anti-apartheid support came from Cuba in comparison? How much $$ in sanctions against SA came from Cuba?
