[quote]Yet throughout his life, Mandela had a habit of saying that he was “not a saint,” as TIME noted in his 2013 obituary. Perhaps more surprisingly from today's perspective, many people around the world felt the same way. In fact, Mandela remained on U.S. terrorist watch lists until 2008.[/quote]

2019

2008. 😳

I feel like you're going somewhere with this. Somewhere that feels kind of October 7th-y.
