Subject: RE: Today in Irelands History
My dear Crying:
Although I do not condone practices such as necklacing by the ANC, in fact I have spoken about this with IRA and INLA members who are also shocked by this example of what can only be referred to as war crime, however, do I take from your comment that you see the ANC as the victemizer in the South African equation? Am I missreading your point, that you think things were better under Apartide? If so, I believe you well make my point that often the victemizer casts the victem in the role of agressor when the victem fights back. Dont forget that slave owners like Thomas Jefferson spoke of the chains of slavery that they bore at the hands of a rather liberal English government. Humans have a strange ability to see themselves as victems as they do the most terrible things.
