Castro is a murdering thug and any person that stands with a stupid grin on their face to have a photo taking with him should do that with Charlie Manson first.
This should be mandatory reading in any history class... but it won't be. Because we have sanitized history and it isn't politically correct to call a "murdering pos" a ".

Excellent post, thank you.
I copied that to a Word file so I can print it out and give it to the moronic kids running around South Florida wearing Che t shirts. I was especially interested in the information about Guevera wanting to launch the Soviet nukes at us. I didn’t know he wanted to do that. It explains the Soviet’s willingness to cede the effort. I always thought there was something funny about the Cuban Missile Crisis. IMO, JFK was an incompetent punk and nothing more. Now I understand why the Soviets reversed themselves. They didn’t want to die in a nuclear war that was started by a couple of maniacs in Cuba.
Excellent article! Thanks for posting.
Never disarm in these people's presence. They will kill you and revel in it.
“Castro ordered mass murder,” remembers Martin-Perez, “but for him it was a utilitarian slaughter, in order to consolidate his power. A classic psychopath, the butchery didn’t seem to affect him one way or the order. But Che Guevara, as his chief executioner, relished the slaughter.”

Prior to the revolution in Cuba, and shortly after landing in Cuba with Fidel and Raul Castro, Che wrote his wife. In the letter, he said, “”I’m here in Cuba’s hills, alive and thirsting for blood.”
Fidel Castro ordered the execution of a peasant guerrilla named Eutimio Guerra who he accused of being an informer for Batista’s forces. Castro assigned the killing to his own bodyguard, Universo Sanchez. To everyone’s surprise, Che Guevara — a lowly rebel soldier/medic at the time (not yet a comandante — volunteered to accompany Sanchez and another soldier to the execution site. The Cuban rebels were glum as they walked slowly down the trail in a torrential thunderstorm. Finally the little group stopped in a clearing.
Sanchez was hesitant, looking around, perhaps looking for an excuse to postpone or call off the execution. Dozens would follow, but this was the first execution of a Castro rebel by Castro’s rebels. Suddenly without warning Che stepped up and fired his pistol into Guerra’s temple. “He went into convulsions for a while and was finally still. Now his belongings were mine.” Che wrote in his Diaries.
Shortly afterwards, Che’s father in Buenos Aires received a letter from his prodigal son. “I’d like to confess, papa’, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing.”
His enjoyment of murder is illustrated by his remodeling of his office at La Cabana. If Che couldn’t be five paces away, he still wanted to watch. He had a wall removed that overlooked the area where executions were carried out.
He also loved to make the condemned families watch the executions. For example, a mother lobbied Che for mercy on her young son. Che responded by picking up the phone. He ordered the execution to be carried out immediately. He had this mother watch her son executed, so she could stop worrying about her son.
In 1997, Pierre San Martin, a Cuban who was jailed by Che, recalled an incident that happened in 1959. A 12-14 year old boy, beaten and bloody, had been thrown into the cell with him. The boy said he was there for simply defending his father. The boy was trying to keep his father from being executed. He failed.
Wouldn't that make a good bumper sticker?
