Actually, I never said he didn't take part in terrorist activities. History says he was a terrorist as well as a revolutionary. I am simply stating that many latinos don't see it that way.

Technically, if you look at our (American) combat tactics in the Revolutionary War, they were considered outside the scope of accepted warfare: terrorism. Yet we called ourselves revolutionaries because at the end of the day, that's what we were. I think that many latinos see Che the same way. However, from America's view, he was a terrorist just like to King George, American colonials were terrorists.
