Che Guevara, Shop window, Buenos Aires, March 2008

Argentina is a HUGE producer of icons: from Evita to Maradonna, from Borges to Gardel. And above them all stands the one who is on every shop windowm on every T-shirt, on every rough bag, on every mug: Che Guevara.

I wonder if people know who he really was and what he meant for Latin American History? I have the feeling he is just an icon for many peoplem who have only a vague idea of who the man was.
