#1 WTF?! Just because the leaders of SA have their heads up their asses doesn't mean they weren't wrong in the 80s.

#3 Apartheid is an Afrikaans word simply meaning separation. It carries no racial or religous connotation other than what has been attached to it by the ANC and others. If one finds the term or concept adhorent, consider the taking down the barriers that seperate one's national borders and see what results from unrestricted, tribal immigration. That was the origin of the matter you see. Yes, it is but one single aspect, but the one which apartheid was designed to prevent. A form of coexistence based on the rule of law was the goal. Not so for Robert Mugabe in Zim or others of a similar socialist leaning in the region. In another few years there will be difficult to find a white man in that part of the world. If it is discovered that Comrade Mbeki through some oil scheme, has agreed to facilitate Iranian nuclear development at Pelindaba, we'll be praying for a few stiff necked Dutchmen to return. I gaurantee it.

#4 It was the racial separation and the enforced inequalities that made apartheid abhorrent, just as the Jim Crow laws of the U.S. were abhorrent, and just as the de facto apartheid of France is abhorrent today. I don't think anyone in their right mind quarrels with the imposition of a non-aboriginal rule of law upon the entire people of South Africa -- certainly the current situation, where a girlfriend of mine made her husband turn down an exciting assignment in Capetown because she was told to expect to be raped or robbed at least once per year, is not acceptable even if the government of a majority black country does reflect the population of its constituents.
