Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what is going to happen to US policy
with South Africa?  Are sanctions going to be dropped?
Things do look hopeful, but they aren't all the way there yet.

With the exeption of Latin America, Bush seems to be holding back from making
any commitments anywhere.  i would expect that you will not hear much more than
press releases from the White House or State until things are definately
settled there.  Saying something is different from doing something.

How `bout all the Afrikaaners arrested for plotting against DeKlerk??  Anyone
know just how widespread those feelings are in the Afrikaaner population (some
60% of the whites i believe)?
