Che Guevarra is seen as a hero in Latin America, although he only helped bring communism to one country (although Allende, a communist, was popularly elected in Chile in a multiparty election). His death at 39 only intensifies his legacy. (It should also be noted that Guevarra's legend is intensified by, as a rebel with Castro, toppling a United States-supported dictatorship.) Slightly off that topic, American resentment was present in Honduras, Nicaragua, and Chile (where American-supported dictators were propped up into power for many years).Che Guevarra---a potential Simon Bolivar in terms of liberating Latin America from American influence cut down so young? That I leave open for debate. Also, about those buses in Honduras, in Panama (I was there during the late spring last year), the buses (often owner-operated) are also just as colorfully decorated, many ex-school buses, and some Scania and Hyundai buses. |
