            Probably yes.

            But Mandela is about the only one I can see as truly deserving his in the past few years.

            Maybe they should only award it when someone did something amazing.

            I mean, the EU ??? WTF ?

              Why Mandela? Look at his legacy. That's like giving a NPP to Lenin.

                  Do you have any idea what the place would have been like without him?

                    It would have made Zimbabwe look like a nice peaceful transition and a well run government.

                    If things become nightmarish there, the problem will have been the people after Mandela...

                        Okay, de Klerk and Mandela managed to abolish apartheid without any further bloodshed. But Mandela's still alive and ANC is already run by crooks and tribalists like Zuma. If sanctions from the 1980s were applied to ZA right now, their economy would crash and burn.

                          Not only is the ANC run by crooks and tribalists, but they've been effectively propping up Mugabe too. If South Africa wanted it could have him gone tomorrow. But he is a fellow freedom fighter against colonialism! or some other such bull**** so he stays.

                            I would only bother "ungiving" something if I felt it had any value to begin with.

                              Guess we have a few posters who get a warm, tingly sense of nostalgia about totalitarianism.
