Regardless of your opinion of George Bush, of free trade, or of the war in Iraq, it’s impossible to sympathize with people who parade under Che Guevara banners. Guevara was a murderous, hateful creep.
If his many fans are ignorant of this fact, there’s every reason to suppose that these protestors are equally ignorant of the positions they espouse. And I recommend that they read this superb essay [4] on Guevara by Alvaro Vargas Llosa.
If, on the other hand, they actually know about Guevara, then these people, too, are hateful.
Either way, they deserve no respect.
