Bush «matou» Mandela

«Mandela está morto, porque Saddam Hussein matou todos os Mandelas», afirmou

É já longa a lista de gaffes do presidente norte-americano, George Bush e agora surgiu mais uma. Durante um discurso para justificar a política norte-americana no Iraque, Bush afirmou: «Mandela está morto, porque Saddam Hussein matou todos os Mandelas».

Segundo a Reuters, ninguém percebeu bem o que Bush queria realmente dizer, mas a gaffe caiu mal, sobretudo na África do Sul. Entretanto a Fundação Mandela achou por bem vir assegurar oficialmente que o militante histórico anti-apartheid «está vivo».

    O mais preocupante não é a idiotice de Bush, pior que isso é ele ser o presidente do país mais poderoso do mundo e ter sido eleito e reeleito por milhões de cidadãos desse país. Não menos preocupante é o facto de, ainda esta semana, o Sócrates ter estado a sós com o Bush na sala oral duma casa branca.

    Ora aí está um ponto importante, João. Como é possível que isto aconteça? Espera-se que os eleitos sejam de facto os "eleitos". No entanto, são apenas aqueles que melhor manobraram o sistema.
