@LuvUni- I +1'd your comment cause now I'm starting to get your humor. Are you European?
a lesser politician might have started Government-approved genocide against the whites, a la Mugabe.
Oh, Mandela was fully aware that his country would have been set ablaze if he did not play both sides. I admit, it was well played. But he still showed his true colors throughout his political career.
Mugabe, that low IQ imbecile - not sure about this. I read that he has a high IQ, and has complete several Open University degree courses.
Ahhh yes one of my favorite topics for discussion - intelligence. Holding university degrees is not an indicator of one's intelligence. Nearly anyone can complete a university degree or even multiple degrees with study or even by rote. But raw intelligence, that's a entirely different subject. I know I said he is a low IQ imbecile but of course that is an exaggeration. He probably possesses average intelligence.
The last good leader or politician? JFK - yeah, he was pretty good. Between jumping into bed with anything with a pulse, he was quite a good prez ...
Good point. But then again, his sexual prowess has nothing to do with his leadership role. On the contrary, I find that those with the highest sex drive and affinity for fetishes are the best at filling leadership positions. JFK was the last good leader of the USA directly after perhaps any the first 7/8 presidents of the USA up to about Van Buren, then things start to get shady; the recurrence of the outstanding presidents fades to near zero as time goes on.
