My guess would be "nothing."
What in your opinion are the big differences between Castro and Mandela. Honest question, I am not baiting you.

He ordered the bombing of infrastructure like power pylons not of human targets. George Washington did exactly nothing to stop them at all.
Castro was an antagonist of the U.S. during the Cold War, who actively enacted Communist policies in Cuba. Mandela was neither, and Mandela played a significant role in ending Apartheid. There.

In 2008 after the uninformed and misinformed elected Obama as President, Fidel Castro wrote, "The intelligent and noble face of the first black president of the United States since its founding two and one-third centuries ago as an independent republic had transformed itself under the inspiration of Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King into a living symbol of the American dream."
In 2013 Castro wrote, Obama Is "Stupid"
He freed millions of people from Apartheid rule and gave them freedom, past connections is his youth mean nothing. When he was president of South Africa he was definitely not communist. Do you not like Blacks having rights and democracy? Margaret Thatcher never really accomplished anything of note especially on the world stage besides being friends with Reagan.
His so called roll in ending apartheid was to kill innocent women and children. There.:roll: How do you defend that?

Umm.. he didn't free millions. It takes two to tango. de Klerk opposed Apartheid as well. It was de Klerk's Government approached Mandela about legalizing the ANC and releasing Mandela and how to do it. Then de Klerk turned around campaigned for lifting Apartheid in the South African vote. de Klerk didn't bitch and moan when he lost to Mandela in 1994 and faithfully served as deputy president under Mandela.
Mandela didn't win the Nobel Peace Prize by himself.. he won it with de Klerk.
Well Mandala was a terrorist to the Apartheid regime does that make him a terrorist, no. If you want to follow that reasoning all the founding fathers of America were traitors and terrorists. It was Mandela's movement and leadership which caused Apartheid to end, De Klerk negotiated and signed it into law. Thatcher accomplished nothing that can rival freeing and entire race of people that inspired the world.
Can you document on how Mandela played a significant role in ending apartheid in SA while sitting in prison for over two decades ?
"In a way I had never quite comprehended before, I realized the role I could play in court and the possibilities before me as a defendant. I was the symbol of justice in the court of the oppressor, the representative of the great ideals of freedom, fairness and democracy in a society that dishonoured those virtues. I realized then and there that I could carry on the fight even in the fortress of the enemy."
— Nelson Mandela, 1994
He killed innocent women and children from prison? Interesting.

You can't be this ignorant, it must be an act.
You being "slightly liberal" should "slightly" give a "****" what Fidel Castro thinks.
I am aware of the MK's campaign of bombing infrastructure, most if not all of which happened while Mandela was in the joint, and none of which targeted "women and children." My point stands.
It's just pandering on his part, and we're used to that!. If memory serves me correctly, when Michelle made her African trip, it was Mandela she ended up visiting, since the leader of South Africa refused to meet with her because he didn't agree with Barack's international policies. I'm glad she had the opportunity to meet Mandela in person. :thumbs:
Greetings, APACHERAT! :2wave:

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela (18 July 1918 - 5 December 2013) was a communist terrorist leader and former President of South Africa. He was imprisoned for some time for attempting to plant a bomb in a shopping center with the intent of killing men, women and children. He signed off on the Church Street bombing in 1983 which killed 19 people and maimed another 217."

There is pretty solid speculation those are extremely ginned-up charges.

President Barack Obama on Thursday ordered flags to fly at half-staff at the White House and public buildings, with the US in mourning over the death of "close friend" and anti-apartheid hero Nelson Mandela.
Obama's proclamation, which also extended to the White House, US foreign missions, military posts, naval stations and military vessels, was valid through sunset on Monday.
"Today, the United States has lost a close friend, South Africa has lost an incomparable liberator, and the world has lost an inspiration for freedom, justice, and human dignity -- Nelson Mandela is no longer with us, he belongs to the ages," he said in the document.
"Through his fierce dignity and unbending will to sacrifice his own freedom for the freedom of others, he transformed South Africa -- and moved the entire world.
For a Communist? Antithesis to Freedom and Liberty?
And nothing for Maggie Thatcher...nothing
I truly want to vomit.

Metapedia is a website which describes itself as "an electronic encyclopedia about culture, art, science, philosophy and politics." The site's stated focus is "on topics that usually are not covered in — i.e. that fall outside of — mainstream encyclopedias." It has been described as "an 'internet love site', dedicated to the love of European people and culture."[3]
In reality, however, Metapedia is a thinly veiled neo-Nazi propaganda site that almost makes Conservapedia look well-adjusted.
