after 27 years in prison for nelson mandela. 30 years of exile for most south africans in the struggle. it came also with a joyous harbinger of reconciliation, national unity, and a forgiveness. so, i think we transit -- transcended a lot of the bitterness of the past. how people can be different and unite despite past and its ease -- and the t -- emnities. >> turn the clock back a little bit and tell us and little bit about growing up in south africa in the 1960's and 1970's. >> far more in the 1970's -- but i come into a south africa in the 1970's where my parents had been absolutely fearsome -- or fearful, rather, of the turbulence of the 1960's. the 1960's would be the decade in which nelson mandela goes to jail, the anc and other political organizations are banned, the leadership of the movement going into exile. there is the killing of people in places of -- like soweto, a mysterious death of the african national congress president. and so, people grow into the 1970's in a very fearful moment. and that a generation was traumatized. the generation i come from have no direct memory

when he was in congress, dick cheney voted against asking the south african government to let nelson mandela out of prison. he voted against a federal holiday to recognize martin luther king jr. when dick cheney was in the defense department, he let out a little few million-dollar contract for a study, to see if it would be possible for a private company to handle all the logistics for a u.s. military operation abroad. so not just like a fuel contract here and a maintenance contract there, like we'd done before, but one big overarching sweetheart guaranteed profit deal to handle all of the logistics. one company handling it all, building the barracks, feeding the troops, doing everything else the u.s. military used to do for itself, but doing it for profit instead. dick cheney paid a company to study whether or not that could be done. it was a company that we now call halliburton. halliburton looked into this the prospect and they decided that, yes, it could be done. but they also found that there was really only one company that could do it. themselves. and so lo and behold, they got that g

the question is whether morales be a nelson mandela? i think it's still unanswered. but it is true that if latin american countries were to be successful for have to be more inclusive and that has to be steps to make latin american countries more inclusive and i think that's a positive component. however, and let me use a metaphor here, many regard just like going into a bar, you see people drinking but you don't quite know who are the alcoholics, and when you order latin america today because of the commodity, you see latin american countries doing significant steps in reducing poverty. but the fact that they are all reducing poverty doesn't mean they're all doing it the right way. perhaps in argentina, why some countries are not doing it the right way. it's an easy example, particularly to use, give us information about argentina almost daily on how wrongly they are doing things. but in the case of argentina, they have grown so fast and get poverty reduction has been in terms of their economic growth, has been very limited with the kind of return in terms of povert
