May 26, 2006 - For revolutionaries, there's no better education than
a few years in prison. They get a lot of time to think, to talk, to
read and to write. Few repent in penitentiary, but many refine their
ideology and arguments. A long list in the last century would include
the famous and the infamous, from Mahatma Ghandi to Adolf Hitler,
Menachem Begin to Saddam Hussein, Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson
Mandela, Vaclav Havel and Lech Walesa, Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez
among many, many others.
