"Che Guevara was a great man.
I wear his face not because it's "fashion", but because I believe in what he did.
And he wasn't just shot, he was tortured brutally."
I just wanted to respond to your comments......
1) I also believe Che was a "great" man. He was pretty violent but at the whole was his "love" for Cuba if not for communism. Granted, Che wasnt the greatest military leader ever, as evidenced with the failures in Africa and Bolivia, but perhaps that is part of his imperfections. The thing i didnt really like much about him is his tendency to kill anyone, friend or foe. A quote of his i find very ironic is, " Cruel leaders are replaced only to have new leaders turn cruel!" this fits Batista being overthrown by Castro who in turn can be considered a "cruel" leader by some.
2). I already commented on that point
3) He was shot and killed by Bolivian soldiers who were aided by the CIA and the Green Berets while trying to organize leftist guerilla movements in that country. Che was shot in the leg and calf area several times while trying to escape from the bolivian forces, is later captured and has to lie in the dirt, nude with his hands and feet tied up. He is later executed with his last words being, ""I know you've come to kill me. Shoot, you are only going to kill a man." , which is possibly a romanticized version of the story, but nonetheless he was shot various time and treated inhumanely while captured.
sorry i wrote so much, its just Che Guevara is such a complicated and interesting individual.
