I've never understood the veneration with which Che Guevara is held by knobhead students etc. People talk about him as though he's freaking Gandhi or something, and let's face it even Gandhi wasn't Gandhi. |

Indeed he has become something of a mythical Robin Hood figure. The irony of his field execution is that KGB wanted him dead more than the CIA. He was regarded a loose cannon and an embarrassment to Moscow. The hunt and execution Guevara was very much a collaborative quid pro quo arrangement between the Lyubanka and Langley. He was worth a lot to the Russians dead. The Bolivian military and their CIA handlers merely obliged. |

For non-Americans, Cuba is a somewhat less exotic holiday destination than for secretive Americans. Brits can go to make themselves feel a little better about the state of the old homeland. It also gives them the chance to visit somewhere where they are guaranteed to be the most obnoxious tourists. |
