Notwithstanding the glib idiocy of maintaining an equivalence between a list of terrorist organizations and apartheid, I have to admit I was shocked by the fact that leaders of the ANC, esp. including Mandela, could not get a visa to the US until 2008, and that it took an Act of Congress. I would have assumed that it would have been an administrative decision of the State Department.
