South Africa
What the devil is so wrong with apartheid that it should be anybody’s business but that of South Africa? The only thing wrong with South Africa is her withering slowness in sticking up for her right to run her own government.
When is President P.W. Botha going to show some spine and start sanctions against the United States? South Africa ought to expel every last American diplomat on her soil and tell foreign businessmen where they can put their American-authored Sullivan principles before she expels those fellows, too.
The black Africans control almost the entire continent of Africa. Why on earth do they need little South Africa as well? South Africa rightfully belongs to the Europeans who have bothered to settle it, build it, and maintain it for the past 300 years, not to the rock-throwing, body-burning savages rattling at the gates of civilization.
