If you have him, sadly it's just a matter of time. He was a world changer in the same vein as Gandhi.

Lots of nations become independant through terrorism, the USA, Israel, Cuba, Nicaragua, etc. One man's terrorist, etc. Mandela's struggle was hampered by co-operation between the South African police and western law enforcement as well - ANC supporters who moved to Canada were harrassed and in some cases lost jobs because of CSIS or RCMP interference. I have no doubt Gandhi was called a terrorist at many polite dinners as well. |

Re: Celebrity Croakers Thread 2013
He was sort of an American Bob Hoskins, who is in turn sort of a British Gene Hackman. If you don't know who they are it's ok, that was praise. Any movie with those actors in it is usually worth watching.
