I have always thought that it was a tragedy that the South Africans gave up their nuclear weapons, and agreed to a consolidated "Democratic" State, in place of the diverse Nations that formerly shared the area that the world recognized as South Africa. (Forgive that somewhat garbled statement. For those who understand what Apartheid was really about--rather than the vicious slander of Afrikaner intentions, that has been taught as fact in Western Universities--all I am saying is that they abandoned Apartheid.)

As the targets of international hatemongers, it was imperative to have a first rate defense establishment. Hence their development of not only atomic weapons, but perhaps the best mobilie artilery system in the world at the same time. (The Afrikaners, going back before the Boer War have always liked maximum fire power.) They also were in the forefront of Laser research (one of the themes of an unpublished novel, that was the actual prequel to the one for which my site is named).

What is most striking in all of this, from our American perspective, is the fact which will only be fully appreciated by Americans who had a chance to spend some time in the Old South Africa, that the Afrikaner history is that which more closely parallels the American Settler experience than that of any other people in the world. If there is one foreign nation with which Americans can closely identify, without compromising the Washington/Jefferson policy of avoiding entanglements, it is that of the Afrikaner.

Please enlighten me from my Western (are the Eastern ones any better?) University-induced stupor. Isn't a government that tells people where they should live & work, supports detention without trial and practises "affirmative action" for certain races (Mines and Works Act) a pretty messed-up way to run a society?
