What an outrage! A statue to commemorate a murderous thug? The truth about Comrade Che is so clear, so documented, yet so ignored by pop culture, mainstream media outlets and idiotic teenagers and whacked-out leftists. This just pisses me off.

I am very objective about Che. It depends on who is telling the story. But I think it is an equal outrage to name and airport after GWB, and he has caused the death of more people.
I think it is silly to do it in NYC, the man was a mortal enemy of the USA. No different than putting up a statue of Marx in the same place.
I do have alot of admiration for Che, but equal amount of disdain as well. I wrote a term paper on him in University.

It would be great if it's erected next to the Bull statue near Wall Street to commemorate the death of capitalism.

What airport is named after GWB? I know IAH is named after his Dad, GHB.

Very true I totally agree. Like you said GWB killed more innocent people than Che ever did !!
The other difference between the two is that one claims ''God'' was telling him to do it

There is no senior (or junior). GWB doesn't have the same name as GH(W)B.

So by that standard, we can re-name Boston Logan... Boston Muhammad Atta International? After all, he caused less death than George W. Bush and was hailed by many as a freedom fighter and not a terrorist. The moral relativism is shocking...

Oh here we go... Again with this whole, "Obama the Socialist" garbage. That was all you conservatives had left wasn't it? The People of the USA had had enough of the Bush regime, and so the GOP, in a desperate attempt to hold on to power, started claiming that Obama was a terrorist, or a communist, or a pervert who wanted to talk to Kindergartners about sex, or any other number of false statements. (*Oh, and for the record, I fully understand and congratulate the fact the McCain corrected even his own supporters on the false name calling; however Palin continued to say he was "palin' around with terrorists" and even later McCain began to hint towards Obama being a communist.) And, by the way, was it not Bush who was in charge these last 8 years? Just checking.
Now, on the statue of Che, I think that as long as the statue is put there by an artist, than I don't really care. Now, do I agree with the methods of Che Guevara? No. But Why don't you put up a statue of President Batista? The mob-swindling, murderer President of Cuba prior to Castro. The US Government liked him. He was terrible to his people, and Havana was a nice vacation spot for the Mafia during the 1950's... Just ripe for a revolution. Unfortunately, the true ideals of Socialism were lost on Castro, and even Che. Sadly, it seems, all of these "Socialist Ideals" seem to fall apart to greed.

I was responding to the tread starters argument that Che's statue in NYC is an outrage. I don't see how you are seeing the parallel between what your statement is and what mine was.
I also said in the same post:

So I don't think that is a good idea. Your statement about naming Bostan Muhammad Atta is senseless.
Additionally, if you want to name airports after people, name them after people that did some good for the world. No Bush ever did that and naming an airport after one of them is sad. Naming and airport after 99% of presidents is sad.
What about Martin Luther King Jr. International Airport? No, but that is silly because he actually did some good right?

Are you kidding? How about leading the liberation of Kuwait? How about removing the Taliban from power? Leading the fight against Islamic extremism?? No I guess those are all horrible things.

Yes, but then encouraging a revolution against uncle Saddam and promising support to them which he did not give, which resulted in the slaughtering of thousands that were told to rebel by Bush. And then putting economic sanctions on Iraq that caused the death of nearly 1,000,000 Iraqi civilians while not harming Saddam at all.

And then near abandoning the country to fight a useless war in Iraq that should have never been fought. And in the meantime allowing Taliban to be a strong force killing civilians and OUR solders. In the meantime destroying Iraq and killing hundreds of thousands of civilians and thousands of American solders.

Abandoning???? Are you kidding?? Tell that to the dead U.S. Servicemen over there. Over 90% of all civilian deaths in Iraq and Afghanistan have been caused by the extremists...NOT the US. Next.

No. The Shiites expected it (and the groups were based in Iran BTW) but the US stated over and over they were not going to meddle in Iraq's internal affairs.

UAL, where are most of the US troops? Not in Afghanistan where they should be. I would call the abandoning and now the poor troops that are there, which is NOT just US troops, do not have the resources or the man power to do the job properly.
Quoting UAL777 (Reply 21): Tell that to the dead U.S. Servicemen over there
Now can't we have a serious conversation here? Lets use facts and not guilt tactics.
Quoting UAL777 (Reply 21): US stated over and over they were not going to meddle in Iraq's internal affairs.
After the the first gulf war the US put an embargo on Iraq that caused close to 1,000,000 civilian deaths. They could not get food, medicine and other basic essentials. I don't get how starving civilians can accomplish anything. Actually it cant.
And this embargo means that the US DID meddle in Iraq's affairs. Internal? I don't know, but they put a strangle hold on the country that made Saddam stronger and the civilians sick and dying.
Bush Sr. did this, Clinton continued it and than after over a decade of suffering Bush Jr. invaded.
