Had a discussion about the new South Africa last night. Now what if Nelson Mandela had said he wanted justice for everyone whose life was shattered by apartheid? All the whites involved to rot in prison for the rest of their lives?
The result would have been total civil war for years. Mandela believed in forgiveness - good for him, and for the world at large.
A lesson here for those who wanted Megrahi to end his days in jail.
