I did not know Nelson Mandela was a terrorist until the US removed him from the Terror watch list.

I did not know that Mandela ever was treated as a terrorist by the United States, until i read about it today. I mean WTF? if a person tries to get the rights for his people, and for that he is jailed for twenty seven years, he is a terrorist? does the definition of a terrorist changes with time? or is it that the stronger party always has to decide whether one is a terrorist or not?

lots of hard questions and no simple answers.
here is one more: by listing the ANC as a terrorist organization can we say that the USA was also complicit in the South African Apartheid?
