c'mon craig give the usa some credit... (I'm pretty sure you could call that executing him)
LOL - Yeah, the difference is moe a political distinction I suppose. We wanted him dead almost as much as the Bolivian government did. He was trying to repeat what he accomplished in Cuba, in other Latin American countries, and spread it through the world really. Bolivia didn't like him trying to overthrow them, and the military officers present actually had to draw straws to select who would kill him, because they ALL wanted to be the one to do it. They cut his hands off afterward, so he could be fingerprinted and make sure he was, who they thought he was. He was. Then they sent his hands back to Cuba, to prove to castro he was dead I suppose. Only many years later I think, did someone find his buried skeleton, handless, and reunited it with his hands in Cuba. To communists he has become almost a christ-like figure. I think some Cubans even pray to him as a saint.

Che did? Well, yeah. He was very intelligent. Authored maybe several dozen books, and was actually referred to as "Castro's Brain". He was also a cool executioner of countless suspected "criminals" of the previous government in Cuba. And being intellectual, it somehow surprised many, that he was so clinical in his official role as “supreme prosecutor”. He was a ruthless and brutal thug hiding behind a cause. When members of his group deserted, he would have the other thugs, actually go and hunt them down as retribution for quitting.
What some of these kids may not know, when wearing Che shirts, is that Guevera played a large role in getting Soviet nuclear warheads and missiles into Cuba, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Angered when the Soviet Union pulled them back out, Guevera stated in an interview that had the missiles remained in Cuba, they would have used them against the U.S. - Castro seemed to confirm this, when he stated in a 1992 interview, that had the U.S. taken military action against Cuba for the removal of the weapons, he (Castro) would have fired them at us. Asked what the outcome of that would have been, Castro admitted that Cuba would have disappeared at our hands, but he was willing to pay that price. Che and Castro are BOTH mass murders, and if properly armed, without Soviet interference, would have increased their murderous ways, by frightening amounts.
WooHoo, let's celebrate that history on a t-shirt proudly worn by uneducated American youth!!!

But did he know what he was doing? I think so... and so did a jury.
Oh, now I see where you're going with this.
My mistake. Yes, I suppose he is not legally insane.
Just mentally ill.
