<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Troodon, post: 380569, member: 4626&quot;]Well probably not, like I said, his image has transcended anything he actually believed or stood for, and it&#039;s unlikely many who wear his portrait on a T-shirt or put a bumper sticker on their car with ihs picture, etc., even know who he was, much less anything about what he believed.</p><p><br /></p><p>He at least did sincerely believe that what he did was for the betterment of the world, and was willing to die for what he believed.&nbsp; That&#039;s not automatically something worthy of respect of course, because you can say the same thing about the 9/11 hijackers.&nbsp; Still, you can&#039;t fault him for his motivations at least.&nbsp; He saw people suffering throughout the world, and wanted to do something to help them.&nbsp; What he wanted to do was the wrong thing, but one can argue that&#039;s still better than nothing.&nbsp; Maybe.&nbsp; One can look at how Cuba turned out after its revolution and see if the people there are any better off than before... it&#039;s certaintly no utopia, based on how many people are willing to risk their lives trying to leave.</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyway I just wanted to share these new notes I added to my collection; didn&#039;t want to trun this into a politcial discussion about Che, a controversial figure whose legacy for better or worse is still much debated.&nbsp; I&#039;m not going to add anything more to discussing Che but if anyone wants to talk about these 4 notes I posted I&#039;ll be glad to add to that discussion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
