In the wake of any revolution the losers are expunged. I don't know why anyone's surprised. It's the way of the world.

I suspect that you would argue against capital punishment in America. Or?

Reagan is remembered as "The Great Communicator".
Not as the man who slaughtered many, but had great intentions.
Guevara was a nasty little prick. Unless of course you agreed with him.

Yeah and Reagan was the little prick who invaded Grenada, funded terrorism in Nicaragua and aided what is now Al Qaeda

Reagan was the president of the great nation that is America. He prevented nasty commies from evolving. If he prevented Nicaragua from becoming commie, that too made him great. Al queda has had many supporters who thought they were on their side. So what. They're dying by the hordes now.
Guvara, led a few morons, spoke like he cared about people between murders.
He was a creep and died like a creep in the mud.

By the way, comment on my post previous to the one you commented on. Looking forward to this.

Just one of the myriad problems with revolutions.

As with most things, it depends on whom you ask.

Absolutely, but it does not make their deaths any more just. The US won the war against Saddam does that mean putting him to death (for acts not dissimilar to what Che and Castro did) just? This is where our forums commie coalition fails every time. It's ok for them to kill everone because they were the winners and get to dictate law, but heaven forbid any other nation does the same.

Im refering to those at Cabana and many people from the Congo to Bolivia. As far as the trials they got are concerned I am aware of what happened there and I do not consider them being pronounced criminals and then being shot a trial, even if I did I do not consider shooting people any type of acceptable punishment which I absolutely do not. All of those points aside I do not consider the regime Guevara helped to put in place in Cuba any better than the he helped oust....


By the time Guevara was murdered by CIA backed Bolivians his campaign had been reduced to raiding medical outposts and stealing medication..he had the support of a handful of rag tag Bolivians at best.
