I have to wonder if a Race war was to erupt in South Africa, what would the rest of the world do? Would Europe and the US sit by and watch the slaughter or would Aryan brigades volunteer to fight there? Would there race war spill over to the US? Would we see Americans of both Colors start to kill each other???
It seems like we really havent evolved at all.
Treason doth never prosper, whats the reason? For if it prosper, none dare call it treason.
You have had twenty years to leave South Africa.
Nelson Mandela was a terrorist whose ideology and political party won and was able to define themselves according to their own ideas of right and wrong.

Well history is nothing more than one persons opinion written down.

You mean run like a coward from the only country he has known?
The worlds problems now are because so many people abandon their country and settle in other peoples land and do not even try to assimilate but live as if they are back in the old country.

Just because you don't like a political ideology does not mean you can not admire the courage of a person's commitment to his belief.
South Africa needed to get past that colonial system of white minority rule.
Cuba needed to move away from the corruption that permeated that culture for generations.
It is called (r)evolution.
I don't think it is going to be a civil war,more like a rebellion of the populace.
They have seen there are still to many inequities and feel only by active demonstration will they be heard.
Peace marches don't work,it shows the government is still in control.Riots gets the whole worlds attention by demonstrating the people are in control.

Gerhard, it's a bit of a stretch from "everyone's talking about it" to civil war.
I think the murder was political, it was even done on Easter weekend, and Chris Hani from the ANC was murdered in the 90's on Easter weekend, so I think it's a clear message....
I can't understand why the ANC would risk the World Cup with stuff like this though, World Cup kicks off in about 60 days.

I also live in South Africa and I'm not nearly as panicked as you are. How old are you? Probably too young to have been in the army?
