Shame shame! That is what I thought when I heard what Nelson Mandela said about the USA and President Bush.

Shame shame! That is what I thought of when I read and heard what Nelson Mandela of SA. said about a week ago.

Nelson Mandela, a man who is looked up to by many, called President Bush arrogant and shortsighted in an address to the International Women's Forum in Johannesburg.

On Thursday, January 30 the former South African President also implied that President Bush was racist for ignoring the United Nations as the United States prepares for a possible military strike against Iraq.

Former South African President Nelson Mandela also said President Bush and Tony Blair are undermining the United Nations by their position on Iraq.

"They do not care. Is it because the Secretary General of the United Nations is now a black man?" And Mandela said, "If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America."

And Mandela, who won the Nobel Peace Prize 10 years ago, made clear his opinion of President Bush.

What I'm condemning is that one power with a president who has no foresight or cannot think properly is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust." My oh my.

What would he had said if the world just said the evil way SA. use to treat blacks was their right and that the blacks were to blame for that.

What would he say the people of Iraq who deserved to be saved from this evil leader.

Shame on this man. I have lost respect for the man who helped to fight the evil way SA. use to be run.
