A piece of dialogue from that remarkable Clint Eastwood movie, Invictus:

Brenda Mazibuko: You're risking your political capital, you're risking your future as our leader.
Nelson Mandela: The day I am afraid to do that is the day I am no longer fit to lead.
Brenda: Political calculation?
Nelson: No, human calculation

Nelson Mandela , the living day light of non-violence has just turned 92. After Gandhi and Martin Luther King , he showed to the world that non-violence can triumph. Still there are many who think that necklace (putting burning tyres around the opponents’ necks ) is the way to win a cause, that was Winnie Mandela’s (Nelson’s former wife) philosophy, maybe also the philosophy of Benjamin Netanahu and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. On this occasion I wish that good sense will ultimately prevail on the hate/violence mongers. Let there not be a ‘day after' when the sane will again lament “Oh! When will they ever learn ….?”
