No one other than


Clearly, Nelson Mandela was not only a man of infinite vision and wisdom, he understood far more about this country than any one of us may have ever imagined  . . . .

"If there is a country that has committed unspeakable atrocities in the world, it is the United States of America." 
"What I am condemning is that one power, with a president who has no foresight and who cannot think properly, is now wanting to plunge the world into a holocaust. Why does the US behave so arrogantly? 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." "It is a tragedy what Bush is doing in Iraq. All he wants is Iraqi oil. We must expose this as much as possible. He is making the greatest mistake of his life by trying to cause carnage." — Nelson Mandela

The world statesman went on to launch a withering attack on America’s human rights record. Referring to the US wartime atom bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagaski, he said: “Because they decided to kill innocent people in Japan, who are they now to pretend they’re the policeman of the world? ”lf there is a country which has committed unspeakable atrocities, it is the US…they don’t care for human beings.”
