Are We Following Che??

I definitely think that there is some similarity between what the US is doing in Pakistan and what Che was trying to do in Bolivia, but kind of in a backwards way. In both cases, someone is coming in from the outside, who has maybe more experience and skill to help train militants in order to help get something accomplished. In the US case, though, we are entering in order to help support the government and fight the Al Qaeda and Taliban forces, who are rebelling. With Che, he was training rebels to fight against the government. Also, in both cases, those entering this new terriory, in some way do get something in return. The US hopefully gets a reduction in terrorist attacks and obviously more and stronger support against our enemies. Che, while he did not exactly want anything in return, was in a way going to support Cuba, but everything with that case is a bit sketchy.
