Update----Just wanted to add that although I think Che has sort of become a symbol for young people who don't really know much about him (his visage looks good on T-shirts and posters), he has earned grudging respect from such unlikely people as William F. Buckley because he was a man who was totally committed to living and dying by his ideals, however disagreeable some people might find them. Speaking for myself, I found him a bit too rigid in his ideology, a little too inflexible and intolerant of human frailties, and a little too callously militaristic...he was never hesitant about executing those underlings who were unable to live up to his exacting standards. It's been alleged he left Cuba because of certain philosophical and practical differences with Castro, whom he evidently felt was catering too much to the Soviet Union. Che was a lifelong asthmatic and could have lived out his life in comfortable-enough affluence (for a Communist) but chose instead to travel surreptitiously to places like the Congo and Bolivia in an attempt to spread his Communist ideology among other oppressed people, knowing that sooner or later it would mean certain death for him, which it did. I'm not a Communist and I'm not a Guevara fan but I do think his memory is worthy of respect. He can be called a fanatic, but he lived and died bravely. Even the most doctrinaire right-wing capitalist would have to concede that, if he's really honest and if he knows what he (or she) is talking about.-----Che was an Argentinian with some Irish heritage.

He was about as native american as Tony Soprano. This is completely wrong on this list if you are talking about Indians. Guevara was 100% white.
