Which is the real Mandela?

Article Abstract:

The life of South African President Nelson Mandela has been one of great contrasts. He came from a very humble background, and when he first became involved in social protest he did not seem to be an obvious future leader. However, his reputation grew rapidly after he travelled through Africa and defended himself in his trials of 1962 and 1964. His time in prison served to deepen his understanding and to establish him as a genuine leader. He now has great calm, as he knows that he has been proved right on the key moral principle on which he has based his whole life.

No wonder Britain's in a mess

Article Abstract:

Britain is facing a crisis of democracy as demonstrated by the handling of the Treaty on European Union. Power is more centralised and narrowly focused, stifling opportunities for revival. The unions, universities and local government have been demoralised. The long period in office by a single party has led to public disillusionment.More decisions are made in Europe. The country needs the stimulus of change and new ideas, which could come through delegation of powers to local government.

The question they dared not answer

Article Abstract:

The issue of whether ministers concealed the truth from parliament over the arms-to-Iraq affair should not be allowed to dominate the debate on the Scott report into this issue. The real question is why the UK government provided weapons to Saddam Hussein, a potential enemy, and also supplied him with money to buy these weapons. Ministers concealed the truth about this issue from parliament and from the general public because they knew that it could not be morally defended.
