I agree completely.
So why do you *oppose* terrorism against apartheid in South Africa
but *praise* terrorism by ex-Somocistas in Nicaragua?
Unlike the blacks in South Africa, who have no political rights
whatsoever, Arturo Cruz, now with the Contra terrorists, was
asked several times by the Sandinistas to run in the elections
in 1984 in which opposition parties won 35% of the seats.
Why did he refuse and choose violent terrorism?

Why are you so blinded by your ideology that you can see the
bad results of pursuing terrorism in South Africa but you cannot
see the results are just as bad by pursuing terrorism in
Nicaragua?
