The Hypocrisy Of Nelson Mandela On "The American Killing Machine"

South Africa's hero Nelson Mandela has some explaining to do with respect to his condemnations of America's war-marking and his willingness to snub her leadership as a sign of protest against her deeds.

As the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq were in full swing, Mr Mandela out of frustration for America's policy said:

Nelson Mandela Condemns The United States Over Iraq

• Nobel Peace Laureate Mandela, 84, has spoken out many times against Bush's stance, and South Africa's close ties with Libya and Cuba irked Washington during Mandela's own presidency.He also attacked the United States's record on human rights, criticizing the dropping of atomic bombs on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagaski in World War II.``Because they decided to kill innocent people in Japan, who are still suffering from that, who are they now to pretend that they are the policeman of the world?...'' he asked.``lf there is a country which has committed unspeakable atrocities, it is the United States of America...They don't care for human beings.''But he said he was happy that people, especially those in the United States, were opposing military action in Iraq.``I hope that that opposition will one day make him understand that he has made the greatest mistake of his life,'' Mandela said.

• Mr Mandela added that both Mr Bush and Tony Blair were undermining the United Nations.

"Is this because the secretary general of the United Nations [Ghanaian Kofi Annan] is now a black man? They never did that when secretary generals were white," he said.

With the same team of the United States and Great Britain teaming up with Italy and France to bomb his friends in Libya - Mr Mandela has been deliberately silent.

With Obama and the 3 African colonists having gone to the United Nations - he is no longer claiming that the US, which is now headed by a Black man is seeking to under cut the Asian man in power at the UN with regards to Libya.
