Believe it or not

Former South African President Nelson Mandela is to be removed from US terrorism watch lists under a bill President Bush signed yesterday.

Mandela and other members of the African National Congress have been on the list because of their fight against South Africa's apartheid regime, which gave way to majority rule in 1994.

That initiative sure took a lot of thought and time.

The world might have been a better place if the US president had taken as long to decide on the war in Iraq.
