Similarities?

While there are some similarities at first glance, I don’t think that what the U.S. is currently doing should be compared to Che’s presence in Bolivia. Both initiatives defy the native government, but I see that as where the similarities end. The mission of each initiative is different. Che was attempting to instill his ideals and philosophies on a people, whereas the U.S. is attempting to counter a terrorist organization. I think that both are being carried out in different ways. Yes, both are secretive. These are different because Che was trying to be a revolutionary, whereas the U.S. is attempting to stop such revolutionary groups in Pakistan. I think that these situations are the same, but opposing sides are represented.
