Che: The Terror from Cuba

Fire of Liberty

Alvaro Vargas Llosa, a senior fellow of the Independet Institute and autor of Liberty for Latin America, has a wonderful piece over at RealClearPolitics that pretty much destroys all arguments that the admirers and supporters of Che Guevara always throw at you when you ask them what is so admirable about this known murderer. Now I know that some kids wear "Che wear" because folks in their favorite band wear such shirts, he's part of the counter-culture or because he's a hero of campus left but hopefully a small percentage of this crowd will read this well written take-down of Che and it will convince them that Che chic isn't as glorious or cool as they thought it was. Thank G-d for Alvaro Vargas Llosa.

Yes, the T-shirts do get a bit cheesy. We're having a debate right now on US foreign policy in Latin America,I'd love to hear your thoughts...
