    I mean really, what has American involvement in Latin American caused? Puerto Rico's inability to choose between independence or statehood, many engineering factories moving to Mexico for cheap labor leaving many of those unemployed in the U.S. Citgo oil is owned by the Venezuelan government, Panama Canal, i could go on, but the point is America has shitted on Latin America assuming they are poorly educated and not well read.

    Can't say I blame Guevarra for going on the brink of becoming America's target after the Bay of Pigs incident. What terrified the U.S. about Cuba was only that their distance to the U.S. border (90 minutes away).

    Read Guerilla Warfare. This manual was given to every soldier he recruited, and to peasants in Latin America to take action. The basis of the book is surrounded with a ton of military practices. I had to read all 49 pages of this article for a Terrorism class along with a redacted Al-Qaeda manual my professor obtained. They use American influence on their soil to empower their hate.

    One of my cousins idolizes what Guevarra did. Not because he was a communist. It was because he spoke to a minority of people who wanted change in their surroundings. It's how people obtain and use that information as a weapon or as an influence to better themselves. I use Che as being an influence that a Latino can be as smart and well read as white people believe a Hispanic person to be.
    Under this logic I say that we need images of Hitler and Stalin and Nero everywhere! These people also just wanted to help people change there surroundings. I mean who cares what they did do as long as we only think about the good that they wanted to do. I mean we should all put the swastika on because that symbol really means unity and happiness.

    Is it ok for me to go up to a group of black people with KKK stuff becuase I believe that KKK symbols are an influence that Black people can overcome any obstetrical and achieve freedom? No, that would be totally incorrect. It is as I said before, the TRUTH matters and while man can reason away anything it does not change what the facts are. You can look at a mountain from many places but every time it is still a mountain.

    I think the term "The ends don't justify the means" works pretty well for what you are saying.
