Here
are 7 quotes from Nelson Mandela that should be remembered. He was a great man.
In my opinion the greatest politician of the Twentieth Century. Many people who
are praising Mandela today severely criticized and attacked him in the past. He
stood for truth and justice and was opposed to all forms of racism and
apartheid. We need more leaders like him. Please pass on these quotes to your
friends.
7. On the U.S. war with Iraq:

that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America. They don’t care for human beings.

4. Mandela on Castro and the Cuban revolution:
* From its earliest
days, the Cuban Revolution has also been a source of inspiration to all freedom-loving people. We admire the sacrifices of the Cuban people in maintaining their independence and sovereignty in the face of the vicious imperialist-orchestrated campaign to destroy the impressive gain made in the Cuban Revolution. Long live the Cuban Revolution. Long live comrade Fidel Castro.

1. On a Palestinian state:
* The UN took a strong stand against apartheid; and over the years, an international consensus was built, which helped to bring an end to this iniquitous system. But we know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.
