Bush cumpli el sueo del Che
por Carlos Marn


20-Ago-03



En su mensaje a la Conferencia Tricontinental de La Habana y desde Bolivia, a finales de 1966, el Che Guevara lanz una estremecedora y excitante consigna para los revolucionarios del mundo:

Crear dos, tres, muchos Vietnam....

Eran aquellos los aos de mayor auge insurgente en Asia, frica y Amrica Latina, frente a una recua de dictadores que, amamantados y asesorados por Estados Unidos, mantena sometidos a centenares de millones de pobres cuyas vanguardias vean en la exitosa revolucin cubana una posibilidad de redencin, y en la resistencia vietnamita una forma de minar, hasta destruirlo, al deleznable imperialismo yanqui.

Como se recordar, el Che Guevara cay herido en combate y fue vilmente asesinado un ao despus, pero su consigna tuvo tanto sentido que al poco tiempo los estadunidenses debieron abandonar Indochina, tras 14 aos de ocupacin, en medio de la ms estruendosa vergenza.

Pese a que destinaron ms de 800 mil efectivos de tropas e hicieron explotar ms bombas y megatones en Vietnam que los empleados en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la suya fue una guerra tan insensata que no justific ni una sola de las 56 mil 237 mil bajas y la erogacin de 150,000 millones de dlares que arroj su idiota aventura.

El 3 de noviembre de 1969 el presidente Richard Nixon reconoci con clarividencia que la derrota y humillacin de los Estados Unidos en Vietnam encendera la violencia dondequiera que nuestros compromisos ayudan a preservar la paz en el Medio Oriente, en Berln, e incluso en el Hemisferio Occidental.

Con muchos ms aunque por supuesto debatibles elementos de juicio, la desaparecida Unin Sovitica intervino militarmente durante diez aos (1979-89) en su satlite Afganistn para intentar sofocar la contrarrevolucin fundamentalista de los espeluznantes talibn, que apoy y financi el viejo amigo de la Casa Blanca, Osama bin Laden.

Tiene sentido la equiparacin: Afganistn fue el Vietnam de la URSS.

Los estadunidenses cometieron la imprudencia de respaldar la lucha de los loquitos contra el Ejrcito Rojo y el 11 de septiembre de 2001 experimentaron, de la manera ms estrujante, que andar de provocadores y policas en el mundo no les acarreara en el futuro sino sangre, desvelos y pesadillas.

En 1991 acudieron a Somalia las tropas del To Sam para apoyar a las Naciones Unidas en un plan de emergencia para alimentar una poblacin desnutrida como consecuencia de una guerra intestina y uno ms de sus periodos de hambruna.

Amaestrado con la idea de que los combatientes estadunidenses son soldados de la libertad, al comandante se le hizo fcil intentar capturar al lder de la guerrilla local, pero sus muchachos quedaron atrapados en el centro de la capital Mogadiscio, donde casi 20 quedaron hechos picadillo.

El trauma en Estados Unidos fue tan colosal que, a los pocos das, Bill Clinton orden la sbita retirada total.

Ahora las tropas estadunidenses se encuentran atascadas en la trampa que su propio gobierno con las ominosas complicidades de Inglaterra y Espaa les tendi contra toda lgica y derecho en otra agresin y ocupacin militar, esta vez en Irak.

Victoriosos, los invasores han resentido en la ilusoria posguerra la muerte de ms efectivos a manos de los partisanos iraques que en las cuatro o cinco semanas que duraron los combates de marzo y abril.

Frente al american dream est imponindose el sueo guevariano.

Paradjicamente, no ha sido el proletariado el artfice del cumplimiento de la consigna de crear uno, dos, tres Vietnam sino el propio Imperio que, como es de preverse con el bombazo de ayer al edificio de la ONU en Bagdad, tiene atascadas a sus tropas en los arenales del Medio Oriente, como sucedi hace una treintena de aos en los pantanos del Sudeste Asitico.

Los sobrevivientes de esas tropas invasoras retornarn, de nuevo sin gloria, a erigir monumentos a sus muertos.

Bush complied with the dream of Che, by Carlos Marn

20-Aug-03


In his message to the Conference Tricontinental of Havana from Bolivia near the end of 1966, Che Guevara launched a horrifying and stimulating order for the revolutionary of the world:

To create two, three, many Vietnams"

There were those in the years of the great insurgent boom in Asia, Africa and Latin America, set against a recall of dictators that, asissted and assessed by United States, maintained control over hundreds of millions of poor whose vanguards saw, in the successful Cuban revolution, a possibility of redemption. They saw in the Vietnamese, a form of resistance that was able to destroy the control of the negligible yanqui imperialist" (this last bit I had trouble with)


As you will recall, comrade Che Guevara fell injured in battle and was eventually murdered a year later but their order had so much sense that in a short time the yanquis would abandon Indochina, after 14 years of occupation, to a most most resounding shame.


Despite the fact they sent more than 800 thousand troops and dropped more magatonnes in bombs in Vietnam than was dropped in the Second World War, this was a completely senseless war that did not justify the loss of even one of the 56,237 troops that died or the distribution of 150,000 million dollars that was thrown into this idiotic venture.


November 3, 1969 President Richard Nixon recognized with clarity that rout and humiliation of the United States in Vietnam and stated We will fight the fire in the east and protect our commitments wherever they may be to help preserve the peace in the Middle East, in Berlin, and even in the Western Hemisphere.

(or some shit like that...It's sounds weird translated)

With many more, although of course debatable, elements of judgment, the vanished Soviet Union would intervene militarily for ten years (1979-89) in the US' number one satellite, Afghanistan, to try to suffocate the couter-revolutionary fundamentalists of the Taliban, that was supported and financed by the old friend of the White House, Osama bin Laden.


The comparison makes sense; Afghanistan was the Vietnam of the USSR.


The yanquis committed with imprudence to support the fight of the locals against the Red Army and by September 11, 2001 they experienced, in the way much more "direct", that to walk the walk of agitators and police in the world would inevitably lead them to a future of blood, vigilance and nightmares.


In 1991 they sent Uncle Sam's troops to Somalia to support to the United Nations in a plan of emergency to feed a malnourished population that was the result of an internal war and another one of their periods of famine.


Programmed with the idea that the American combatants are soldiers of the liberty, the commander was thought it would be easy to try to capture the leader of the local guerrilla warfare group, but their boys remained trapped in the center of the capital one Mogadiscio, a place where almost 20 were pinned down.


The trauma in the United States was so colossal that, in the next few days, Bill Clinton ordered a sudden total retreat.



Now the American troops are found themselves stuck in a trap that its own government created, with the assistance of their accomplices England and Spain; pitting them against all logic and right in yet another aggression and military occupation, this time in Iraq.



Victorious, the invaders have suffered in the false postwar period the death of more troops by the hand of the Iraqi freedom fighters in the last four or five weeks than in the battles that lasted through march and April.



In place of the "American dream", the dream of comrade Guevara is being imposed. [vive El Che!]



Paradoxical, it has not been the proletariat that has fulfilled the order to create one, two, three Vietnams but the it has been the very Empire itself, as is to be predicted with yesterday's blunder in the UN building in Baghdad, that has trapped it's troops in the theatre of the Middle East, as it did about thirty years ago in the swamps of the Southeast Asia.



The survivors of those invading troops will return, again without glory, to erect monuments to their dead comrades.


*the addition of the words "comrade" are mine, and are not included in the article.

Apologies, I misread your post.


Thanks for the good words on the translation comrades. I was quite bored and it actually was fun to do.

(I'm sure the native spanish speakers got a laugh at how I translated some parts though...I only learned spanish a few months ago.)
