Yeah... Lamumba has a university named after him in Moscow.. But I would agree, given the information I've read, murdering him was a rather harsh response to his nationalist agenda. The worst anyone seemed to be able to charge him with was inciting to riot, when 30 people were killed in a demonstration that he apparently helped to organize. Which is quite unlike a few, less savory, individuals who deserve to be murdered far more than he. Unfortunately, he just made the wrong "political decision" and allied himself upon the USSR to support him with arms. I'm sure the Belgians were willing to do anything to prevent the Soviets from gaining a foothold in the heart of Africa. Hawk
