For Che Guevara, the lovin' never stops

National Review, May 19, 2008

For Che Guevara, the lovin' never stops. He must be the most adored totalitarian thug/murderer in the world. The 80th anniversary of his birth is upon us, and Andres Zerneri, a sculptor in Guevara's native Argentina, is doing something about it. He has asked people worldwide to contribute "bronze keys, kitchenware, and old instruments for a statue" commemorating Guevara.

(We quote from a Bloomberg report.) So far, some 15,000 people have contributed more than three tons of this material. About those "old instruments," we wonder: Do they include instruments of torture?
