...been a rough year so far for religion on the campaign trail. During the primary season both candidates had to distance themselves from, and ultimately condemn, religious supporters who delivered embarrassing and intolerant sermons.

How different things might have been if Mandela, years ago, had put politics aside and stood up to lead the world in fierce condemnation of Mugabe's brutal regime. Mandela's courage and presence brought democracy...
