The Bolivian government did the world a huge favor when it executed Che Guevara in 1967. If you don't know who Che Guevara is, just look for the Andy Warhol like image on things. You see that image mostly on T-shirts worn by college students and those at left wing rallies and protests. Its very clear they don't know who he is either.
Let me be as clear as I can about Che Guevara. HE IS A MURDERER, PURE AND SIMPLE!!!
He is not a revolutionary, man of the people, political thinker etc, that many make him out to be. The death toll due to this man is huge, considering he only lived to age 39. He should only be compared with Hilter, Mao, Stalin, Pol Pot, Castro and the like. He only shows the world the evil and misery that Communism has brought to the world. He is not a hero. He is a monster that we are lucky that we didn't have any longer then we did.
But most don't know the story of Che Guevara. A major movie isn't going to help that either. Since most in Hollywood think the "commonly held" story of him is true. Just look at the "history" of him on Wikipedia. There is a good article by
Mark Goldblatt at NRO that you should read about it.
We do a great dishonor to his many victims by celebrating the life of this murderer. We will be doomed to repeat history if we continue the ignorance of the truth about Cuevara.
If you are wearing one of those stupid t-shirts, due us a favor and throw it out.
