Thank god the state didn't "murder" Nelson Mandella. He was a terrorist, would you have put him in the chair?

It all depends on what you class as a terrorist. Over here we thought what Nelson Mandella was doing was a good and just cause, to stand up against extreme racial prejudice.
But over there the authorities saw him as a terrorist. Over here most people see the IRA as a terrorist organisation, I personally want to see all the members of the IRA who have killed an innocent person punished. But someone in America for example may be sympathetic to the IRA's cause. In the end it all depends on the government and the values of the population at the time. Im sure there are still a lot of white people in Africa who hated Mandella for what he did and would have liked to see him executed.
The same thing applies here, Im sure a lot of people would want to see the people responisble for the Omagh bombing caught and punished to the full extent of the law.
But you also have to think about in these terms as well, how many people did Nelson Mandella murder? How many buildings did he bomb?
