But that's your opinion, thanks!
Please red comments properly before replying to save yourself looking stupid.
What is it with people like you?
27 years in jail and the guy comes out, becomes president and then goes about making a reconciliation with the regime that for decades has treated his country and its people like shit.
How old are you? Bandying the word terrorist about like you do makes you sound like an idiot...do you even know what the word means? Twat.
Do you distinguish between legitimate armed struggle and terrorism?
The word terrorism seems to be used these days by some of the worlds most oppressive regimes as a way of stripping people of any human rights. Once you are labelled a terrorist it seems that you can suffer any indignity, can be treated in any way whatsoever and nobody will care.
I'd like to see someone like you, who uses words so freely, have to fight for your own freedom.
