There are SO MANY lessons one can learn from Mandela and the path of his life. One that I would hope the US and UK [among others] would learn immediately, and retroactively, that one man's 'terrorist', is another man's freedom fighter, and very [to most] often the first designation is WRONG, in favor of the later - because repressive, anti-democratic, autocratic, oligarchic types usually make those official 'designations'. The USA and UK, to their everlasting shame, had for decades branded Mandela and the ANC as terrorists - and RESISTED the end of Apartheid. Will be never learn?!
