Just say nay to Che

I wonder if Che is as popular in latin American dorm rooms as he is where his struggle had fewer victims? I know my brother had at one time an affection for Che but I wonder if it comes from the same place as the folks who prefer just to blame the actor Stalin rather than acknowleging that the system is horribly flawed? It always seems Communists wish for the dictator they never had. The Christ imagery around Che is very effective and more than a little cynical coming from an atheistic movement... I prefer the Marley poster myself.
