'''Ernesto "Che" Guevara''' (1928-1967) was an [[Argentina|Argentine]]-born [[Marxist]] who was involved in [[guerilla warfare]] in a number of countries on behalf of [[Communist]] causes.<ref>http://www.frontpagemag.com/Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=18363</ref> He was a major player in the [[Cuba]]n revolution that led to [[Fidel Castro]] seizing power.

Guevara was in his time known as a charismatic leader and his image is still used as an iconic one which adorns millions of t-shirts as well as a whole raft of paraphernalia. It is for this reason Intelligence analysts in recent decades have refrained from recommending killing terrorist leaders so as to avoid creating the image of a [[martyr]]. [[Yasser Arafat]] and [[Osama bin Laden]] are two of the most prominent examples of this policy of not creating living legends in death by executing a terrorist leader.

Che Guevara T-shirts have become a [[best-seller]] in North American and European college campuses.

Nicaragua

'''Nicaragua''' is the largest nation in [[Central America]], but it the least densely populated; thus being similar in population to its neighbours. The country is bordered to the north by the Honduras and to the south by [[Costa Rica]]. Its western coast is on the Pacific Ocean, while the east of the country borders on the Caribbean Sea. Nicaragua is one of three countries in the world where abortion is illegal with no exceptions, along with [[El Salvador]] and [[Chile]].

Nicaragua was recently ravaged by a civil war, which killed hundreds of thousands of people most of whom were killed by the Contras, and left 20% of the country's population homeless <ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/country_profiles/1225218.stm</ref>, between the Contra guerillas and the socialist [[Sandinista]] government.

The Reagan Administration covertly and illegally facilitated funding to the [[Contras]] through arms sales by Israel to Iran in whats become known as the [[Iran-Contra affair]]. <ref>"President Ronald Reagan told a packed White House news conference that funds derived from covert arms deals with the Islamic Republic of Iran had been diverted to buy weapons for the U.S.-backed Contra rebels in Nicaragua." http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB210/index.htm</ref> The post Vietnam-era [[Boland amendment]] denied direct appropriations to continue the policy of [[Containment]] as it perrtained to Nicaragua during this period of the [[Cold War]].

Columbine High School Massacre

'''Columbine massacre ''' refers to a massacre by two students, Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris,<ref>The official report omits how one of the students had been taken off powerful mind-altering medication, which can lead to dangerous conduct.[http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2000/columbine.cd/Pages/SUSPECTS_TEXT.htm]</ref> of 12 students and a coach at Columbine High School in Littleton, [[Colorado]] on April 20, 1999.

The killers were anti-religion, anti-establishment, antisocial, and anti-gun control; they sought out as victims [[Christianity|Christians]], [[Americans]], and popular athletes. The killers planned their attack beforehand and investigators later found descriptions in their notes about their intentions to kill.

Politicians cited the massacre in their demands for greater [[gun control]], and congressional [[Democratic Party|Democrats]] held highly publicized hearings to pass gun control legislation. But gun control became an issue that hurt Democratic presidential candidate [[Al Gore]] in 2000, causing him to lose the election by losing the traditionally Democratic state of West Virginia, where the right to bear arms is valued.{{fact}} [[Liberal]] [[Socialism|socialist]] filmmaker [[Michael Moore]] used the incident as the backdrop for an anti-gun rights documentary, ''Bowling For Columbine''.

A photo gallery of the young students is available online.<ref>http://www.acolumbinesite.com/victim/memoriam.html</ref> Also online is the much-criticized official report of the massacre.<ref>http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2000/columbine.cd/Pages/TOC.htm</ref>

In 2005, Daniel Ledonne of Alamosa, Colorado, created a much-criticized video game called ''Super Columbine Massacre RPG!''' which simulates the school shootings took place at Columbine.<ref>http://live.canoe.ca/TheShow/Archives/2006/09/14/1839452.html</ref>
