A terror attack in South Africa would wipe out the world's leadership.
The world elite is descending on South Africa for Mandela's funeral - including past and present leaders from 100+ world countries, Ted Cruz, Oprah, and the Pope.

If Oprah is a world leader, the world does not deserve to survive.

Sounds like you are hoping some kind of attack will happen?

Nice deflection. Didn't work. I didn't make the OP, you did.

The thought had crossed my mind too, it's a pretty long list. At last count 125 world leaders:

Confirmation of foreign Heads of State and Government attending activities relating to Former President Mandela's passing

Thank you both for the much-needed laugh. I am sincerely hoping that Oprah doesn't make all the world leaders look under their chairs, only to discover all they won was a DVD of "The Butler".


On a more serious note, are there any actual "world leaders" at this event? The U.S. certainly doesn't have a "leader" down there.

On an even more serious note, how does security for something like this work? Surely countries aren't just going to let South Africa oversee and dictate everything. But 125 gov't security details going through their own personal implementation? Insane to think about. I see what goes on when Obama drives down freaking park avenue in manhattan. I can't imagine what must take place in Africa. And have that repeated by 125 different world leaders? Mind blown.
