Che was an Argentine-born physician, Marxist revolutionary, politician, and leader of Cuban and internationalist guerrillas. As a young man studying medicine, Guevara traveled "rough" throughout Latin America, bringing him into direct contact with the poverty in which many people lived. Through these experiences he became convinced that only revolution could remedy the region's economic inequality, leading him to study Marxism and become involved in Guatemala's social revolution under President Jacobo Arbenz Guzmán.
After his death, Guevara became an icon of socialist revolutionary movements worldwide. An Alberto Korda photo of Guevara (right) has received wide distribution and modification. The Maryland Institute of Art called this picture "the most famous photograph in the world and a symbol of the 20th century."[1

Ernesto Che Guevara.
Was Fidel Castro's friend, they disagreed on a few principles when they took over Cuba and he set off into the sunset on his motorbike to spread the docrine of [Marxist] Socialism (basically equal rights for all with no rich and poor and a collective social controll not a government). He was not passive but rather an activist and this got him into a lot of trouble. With the help of the US government he was tracked down and shot.
Check out Wikipedia it has great stuff on him.

Che Guevara was Castro's chief executioner when he took over. Che personally murdered many people and ordered the murder of many more. This totaled thousands of people.
Calling him a doctor is like calling Josef Mengele a doctor. It misses the point.

A president who is trying to use Oil to bring up his Country and people. He is selling oil at present $50.oo a barrel and wants OPEC to do the same. He has thrown out the big American Oil company's. He agitates bush. Bush will find someway to do away with him, and I guess we then take over and will be able to continue to run our SUV's on $70' a barrel. He not perfect,but his people seem to like him!
