"Any government that is perceived to be strong, and to be resistant to 
imperialists, would be made a target and be undermined."

Really? I haven't noticed any campaign against the government of South 
Africa, which has had the same relationship to imperialism as any other 
client state on the continent.

Odd that James Daly--a sharp critic of Sinn Fein--would get suckered by 
an article that begins with a quote by the Gerry Adams of South Africa.
