Che never wanted to work in the government. He did for a while but his heart wasn't in it. No one had to convince him to leave Cuba and try to spread the revolution. That was what he wanted. As such he was a danger to US business interests in Latin America and beyond. For that reason he was hunted down and murdered by the US government.

Did you intend to provide a link that doesn't support your position?

And, even 4 years ago when that book was published, the fact that the CIA killed Che was really old news.

I've read all of Che's books.

By Che's books I mean the ones that were actually written by Che himself.

That's how you actually get to know the person.

Not by reading books and articles "about Che" written by people with an agenda.

Did you know that, in Bolivia at least, he was almost certainly being run by the Stasi? Did Che know? "Tania" was his controller.

It's about time the USA came to the realization Cuba here to stay, we failed. Time to extend a hand in friendship and spoil them with our Decadence. Once the tourist and cruse ships invade no putting the genie back into the bottle.

Time to give back gitmo, shut down the prison and get the trials over!

Another notch In Obama's belt.

I certainly understand why republicans hate him. He's the rock star they simply cannot produce.

Before he graduated as medical doctor Che toured Latin America and spent some time in a leper colony. What he saw on that tour affected him deeply.

The excellent movie "The Motor Cycle Diaries" dealt with that tour.

Better take an interpreter. Those Cubanos don't speak redneck.

You have never heard of an English speaking student majoring in English?
Your comment about the Spanish major reveals your low information voterness
and susceptibility to Trumpism......
