>I heard the speech and I must say that Mandela’s words were stronger about this rationalization. He also said that the United States is taking this action to embarrass Kofi Annan, because of his race. They would not go to war if the secretary-general was a white man, were the words I heard. So now I know the true reason why we are in Iraq! It is not about SH or oil. It is just the KKK which runs United States and coalition policy.

Be careful Tom. He said "...Is it because the secretary-general of the United Nations is now a black man?"

I'm sure it won't shock you if I tell you that to this day in certain places in the U.S.A. there are places where white men can't go or where black man can't go. Perhaps Mr. Mandela said those words in a moment of great frustration because of the certainty of a war. I don't want to excuse him but I'm sure that those leaders see that war at a level that we don't.
