Newsflash from the White House! Mandela no longer on official US terrorist list.

The US government's reputation as a world-leader when it comes to pioneering political stances is yet again highlighted by the announcement (less than 48 hours ago and barely twenty years after his release) that Nelson Mandela, someone the rest of the world had so far naively assumed was a notorious, dangerous and undesirable terrorist was, in fact, NOT a notorious, dangerous and undesirable terrorist but a great statesman and the closest thing humanity has to a modern saint..

Our heartfelt thanks to US administrations (present and past) for staying ahead of the curve and leading us all the way to the true, definitive state of enlightenment..

Amen
