Let's remember what he said about our going to war in Iraq:
"If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world," he said, "it is the United States of America." He then criticized the decision to drop atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
"What I'm condemning is that one power with a president who has no foresight, who cannot think properly, is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust," he said.
"All that he wants is Iraqi oil because Iraq produces 64 percent of oil in the world," Mandela said. "What Bush wants is to get hold of that oil."
Sometimes memories become selective and incomplete.
