TRUTH AND RECONCILIATION
"It is not easy to open wounds, it's very painful.
But if you don't want them to fester you must open
them and cleanse them and then pour balm onto them."*
Bishop Desmund Tutu
Chairman, South Africa Commission on Truth and Reconciliation
[MER - 2/17/97 - In South Africa, after the fall of apartheid, the crimes
of the former regime are finally coming into the open through the process
of a "Truth and Reconciliation" Commission which is empowered to pardon
those who come forward to tell their grissly and bloody stories. If there
is ever to be a true peace and reconciliaton between Israeli Zionism and
Palestinian nationalism sometime in the future -- certainly not as the
result of the current 'peace process' -- something similar will have to
take place in the area of the promised land. Biship Desmund Tutu is the
Chairman of this commission in South Africa]
