40th

40 years ago, at the height of the cold war, the lonely foreign revolutionary on a quixotic quest to overthrow the status quo was betrayed, and then cowardly & hastily executed, probably by remote control. Yesterday, a democratically elected, progressive and indigenous president of that same country visited his grave and paid homage to his ideas, while castigating the 'great satan'. There is an irony somewhere in all this. What is certain however, is that there is much less fear nowadays & much more information available to the common man, which is positive, as people are able to think for themselves. But they should study too, including history so that it may stop repeating itself.
