The CIA’s overthrow of Iran’s Mohammad Mossadegh in 1953, which
would save Iran’s oil for the British, was also done in the name of the fight In touch with Iranian diversity
against communism.
Unquestioning support of the mujahedeen during the anti-Soviet jihad in
Afghanistan during the 1980s was also an anti-communist measure — what
was bad for Moscow had to be good for Washington.
Afghanistan was certainly disastrous for the Soviets, but few would argue
that arming the future Taliban turned out well for the US.
So, what about Mandela carrying the terrorist label so long?
After all, Gerry Adams, leader of Ireland’s Sinn Fein Party, who has shown
less of Mandela’s drive toward healing and reconciliation, made it off the
watch list two years earlier in 2006.
Some US officials treated the South African’s listing as a minor oversight.
Former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice called it “embarrassing.”
Her predecessor, Colin Powell, sounded baffled last week when a BBC
interviewer brought it up.
“I saw that little factoid and it’s kind of astonishing. But I don’t think that
was deliberate, I think nobody got around to taking him off the list,” he said.
Pressing further, the interviewer said, “I guess people would say those who
saw him as a terrorist just got it wrong.”
“Well, no,” Powell replied, explaining that “terrorist” was an appropriate
label for the “violent acts” Mandela and the ANC carried out.
Indeed, as Mandela wrote in his 1994 autobiography, “when a man is
denied the right to live the life he believes in, he has no choice but to become
an outlaw.”
The South African leader was no fan of Washington’s international hubris,
something he made clear in an interview with Newsweek in 2002.
“There is no doubt that the United States now feels that they are the only
superpower in the world and they can do what they like,” he said.
These are words that may be hard for Americans to hear, but they are just
as important as the civil rights hero’s more palatable utterances.
Rest in peace, Madiba.
