I think his name is like Zack de la Rocha? I don't know, but I do know he's Irish (blameitonthevoices.com). Whoever he is, he proves one thing: "Who wins the war writes the history." They don't mention he was a rebel fighting for Latin American equality and freedom. Beneath: Zack fans look on adoringly (utne.com).

Ireland to erect memorial to Che

GALWAY, Ireland - Libertas founder Declan Ganley has described plans to erect a memorial celebrating Galway city’s links with Argentinian guerrilla [freedom] fighter Che Guevara as a “monument to a mass murderer.”



Mr. Ganley said that “significant concerns” about the plan had been raised with him by members of the US business community during a trip there last week and that he feared it would “cast a shadow” on Galway’s international reputation. Warning that it would “damage investment,” he said “we would not build a monument in Galway to Stalin, or to Pol Pot, or to Idi Amin, or to Oliver Cromwell.” More
