Cubans remember Che Guevara 50 years on

They aren't remembering Che. They're celebrating an icon, like Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny. Funny for a people that were forced into secular beliefs, isn't it? The truly ironic part is that Che wasn't a Cuban. Didn't really like Cubans. He even had his reservations about Fidel. He felt that Castro wasn't "sufficiently revolutionary" (his words). Che's only purpose for being in Cuba was to kill Americans and American agents (Cubans working for Americans). When the revolution ended there and even Castro was put off by Che's murderous activities, he was sent away to find his victims elsewhere. Castro didn't want him back until he was dead and his body could be used as a propaganda tool. I studied him in great depth because I wrote about him. I used his own writings and spoken words as dialogue in my book for authenticity. He wasn't very bright either. For example, at the Bay of Pigs, he was the only Cuban commander fooled by a boatload of fireworks fired from offshore at another location to decoy troops away from the real landing area. When he arrived, the battle was over and he vented his spleen shouting and spitting in the faces of the captives. And for all those Americans who wear his t-shirt or have his iconic image tattooed on their bodies - youth, LGBT, et al - they are the first ones he would have executed given the chance.
