Was Regan on the wrong side of history when it came to South Africa and not supporting freedom of Mandela?

America is not on the wrong side so much as America is the wrong side.

Regan was the worst president in American history. Did more damage than Nixon, both Bushes, and Hoover combined. Not supporting Mandela is the LEAST of his sins.

Yes, but let's not forget that Mandela was considered a terrorist to the US up until 2008.

Where did you receive your indoctrination comrade Strauss? In the GDR or the SA ministry of education parallel universe where good is evil and evil good, bitter is sweet and sweet bitter? You should be ashamed of yourself. Out of your own mouth you have condemned yourself by glorifying a Marxist Terrorist who destroyed a country. Prove your claims you say. Gladly comrade. Truth is not afraid of the light. Lets begin then. Your Terrorist Idol was found guilty of sabotage and plotting to overthrow the Government through a campaign of guerrilla warfare and terrorist attacks. Have you ever done the effort to read the information about the Rivonia trail? Have you ever heard of operation Mayibuye? Surely you have heard that the power of life and death is in the tongue and that out of thy own mouth thou will be judged. Have you ever heard those lovely nation building songs good old comrade Mandela loved to sing? Such beautiful lyrics “ We will kill the whites; We will slit their throats. Makes your heart feel warm don’t it comrade? Oh don’t forget all of good old comrade Mandelas lovely friends. Lovely people like Gaddafi, Castro, Arafat and on and on. Good old comrade Mandela was also a solid stand-up Christian wasn’t he comrade Strauss? Yes he abolished those backward laws of the racists whites that forbade abortion and sodomy. Such a wise comrade. What other wonderful deeds have comrade Madiba done I hear you gasp with excitement comrade Strauss. Hang on to your pants comrade Strauss. He annually released murders and rapists sentenced by law from prison because he was such a lovely fellow and to commemorate his birthday, such a humble guy. I wonder if the sales of How to be a Good Communist will go through the roof now that comrade Mandela has passed on, be sure to take a look now and then at Barns and Noble for the sales statistics comrade Strauss we need funds to overthrow those evil Jews in Palestine, Apartheid take 2 comrade Strauss. Madiba will be so proud. Oh and by the way comrade Strauss Madiba never renounced violence or apologized for any of the terrorist attacks against civilians.

Reagan was on the wrong side of history for most things, Afghanistan, The USSR, Reaganomics, Central America, and Greneda so why shouldn't he be on the wrong side for Mandela too?

To be fair, have sanctions ever really worked? I mean, look at North Korea, still oppressing its people after all these decades.

yes
