How hypocritical is the attitude of the white racists of washington and their allies of the NATO. During Clinton's administration the National African Congress, whose precedence held Nelson Mandela and whose objective was to fight against the apartheid, was on their so called 'terrorist' list. I still do not understand how they dare to promulgate the 'International Nelson Mandela Day'. And that is why...... all of the world hates the US.
