UKUSA, Welcome
Thanks for reading my blog. As for those evil leaders in South Africa, with the murderous methods you mention, they definiitely qualify for my prescription for their disease, as I mentioned in my post:
"Ideally, they should be killed by their own victims, as soon as their true evil predatory nature becomes apparent. If their own victims are not able to kill them, then that essential task falls to the rest of us."
By the time an evil predator becomes known for killing, he has racked up enough victims, and families or friends of victims, who have the moral right to kill him. Usually they fail to do so, for many various reasons. Their failure just puts the rest of us in more danger, and then we have to try to do the job for them. Usually there are no volunteers for this difficult and dangerous job, so the evil killers just keep on killing. It would not have to be like this, if enough people followed the moral principle stated above. Do you, UKUSA, have the courage to follow this principle, if YOUR loved ones were the victims? Probably not, even if you agreed with the principle, which I am sure you do not.

South Africa shot women & kids - even in the back - in 1960, 1976, &
had chemical weapons and poisons for beer sold to African blacks. Yet this neo-Nazi group was amenable to nonviolent change. Of course Mandela was willing to die in prison, and did spend 27 years in jail with hard labor, few visits from Winnie Mandela, or his family and friends. Yes, UK is a civilized nation. Yet ...

That "little voice" has died, or shrunk so tiny it can no longer be heard in so many people in this world. What we don't use, we lose.

Thanks for taking a peek. I will welcome any of your comments later. In a nutshell, I am making the point that Gandhi was a great and brave man with expertise in non-violent conflict, but that non-violent conflict is a limited option, which does not work in most situations dealing with tyrants or extreme predators. It is a matter of the degree of evil we are dealing with, and recognizing it. The British Empire was not evil on the level of Nazi Germany, or else Gandhi and his supporters would have been killed. In another nutshell, properly identify your enemy, and then choose the appropriate method to deal with them, just make sure you are right. There are a few other finer points in the post, that I would welcome your input on. Cheers

way too long for me to read. I may plow through sometime. I am a real fan of the great man just as I am of Martin Luther King, Churchill, John and Bobby Kennedy, Nelson Mandela... I won't start on women.
All of these men were human, not saints. All of them made mistakes in their lives and had aspects of personality that disappoints.
I agree with what Jesus said....let the person who is perfect in every way cast the first stone!!
