Its inspiring that widespread violence and terrorism didn't erupt in South Africa in response to the end of apartheid. It certainly did as Rhodesia became Zimbabwe. The key to the relative peace, I believe, was the widely endorsed notion of reconciliation, or acceptance promulgated throughout all aspects of South African society, particularly by religious and tribal leaders. I don't think its realistic to expect the media to change how it covers terrorism. I do think much more could be done to celebrate, reward and publicize those preaching against violence and for peace.
