Apples to Apples

The New York Times article entitled "US Unit Secretly in Pakistan Lends Ally Support" describes US actions that are very similar to what Che began to do in Bolivia because in both cases there is a force that believes that a certain group of people would live better under a different system of government. However, one difference between the two scenarios is that the US is rebelling against a group that deliberately attacked them, whereas Che was leading troops in Bolivia against the government when he was not directly affected by the conflict. I think that we have been led to believe that there is a huge difference between the US actions in the Middle East and Che's actions in Bolivia because of the American propaganda against communism that deems Che's actions as terrible to the well-being of South America. Although I agree that Che's revolutions in Bolivia, the Congo, etc were not beneficial to these countries because of the killing of countless people, I do not think the US actions in Iraq are excusable either because civilians in the Middle East are being killed as well.
