Mandela keeps strange company

As a black South African, who was the political correspondent for the biggest paper in teh country, who was in the liberaiton movement and who, for two years, worked in Mandela's government where I managed to contribute to some of his speeches.... Since his return he has ALWAYS kept bad company, Suharto, the Saudis, Kissinger - and the Dallas Cowboys :-)... My biggest problem with him is that he has made white South Africans feel like they had done nothing wrong. Thabo Mbeki has tried to remind them and they have shafted him in the media they dominate - not that he, too, is without fault.

Nobody rules guiltlessly - (I forgot who said that)
