I think these two operations are almost complete opposites. What Che was trying to do in Bolivia was upset established governments by training guerilla warriors. What America and Pakistan are doing together is strengthening the Pakistani army and government in the fight against terrorist insurgents like Al Qaeda and the Taliban. Che’s aim was to topple established governments and begin revolutions, while America and Pakistan are trying to maintain order.
The operations do have some similarities, however. Both sides of every conflict believes that they are doing the right thing. Che thought that by reconstructing some Latin American governments, he could improve the quality of life for the people. And, the Americans and Pakistanis believe the same thing now. Overall, intentions tend to be good.
