21. So did you take the same position regarding the anti-aparthied and ANC movement in South Africa?

We didn't know ahead of time which way that revolution might have gone.

And can't support any movements against dictorships anywhere in the world because we can't know in advance the ultimate outcome.

And extending that logic to the United States we couldn't have supported the first American revolution, or the second one to abolish slavery or any movements demanding social justice because you just don't know with certainly the final outcome.
