Mandela: "Bush can't think properly"
(afrol News, 30 January 2003)
South African ex-President Nelson Mandela at a conference blasted US policies towards Iraq, saying it was all about oil. A unilateral attack on Iraq may lead the world into a "holocaust", he said. Also the current South African administration is increasingly rejecting US polices on Iraq. . . . ". . . what I condemn is one power with a president who can't think properly and wants to plant the world into holocaust," Mr Mandela said. . . . He added that war "would be devastating not just to Iraq but also to the whole of the Middle East and to other countries of the world." The ex-President feared both the human suffering in Iraq and the consequences for regional stability of attacking Iraq and at the same time supporting Israel. . . . Naming the US "arrogant" and Mr Blair a "US Foreign Minister," the Nobel Peace Price winner asked: why US was behaving this way. "Their friend Israel has got weapons of mass destruction but because it's their ally they won't ask the UN to get rid of them. They just want the oil. We must expose this as much as possible," he concluded. . . . In his weekly letter on the ANC website, President Mbeki called on all South Africans to join the international peace movement. "We have insisted that the Iraq question must be solved through the United Nations," wrote the President.
