It is.

>Since the ANC is not a terrorist group 

It is. 

>(certainly not in terms of the PLO, the  Red  Brigade  and  other
>avowed  Israeli/US  haters)  

US hating is neither here nor there. The IRA is terrorist, too.

>such actions are at the very least highly questionable  and  most
>probably acts of war.

Matter of definition. Not all acts of war are wrong.

>How can Pres. Reagan with this knowledge 

Knowledge of what isn't ?

>continue to support this white supremist government?

He doesn't. He never did.

>Has the  President  forgotten  the  heated/riotous  exchanges  in
>Montgomery, Alabama and Atlanta, Georgia in the mid 1950's? South

>our President to see this?
