jap bastards, deserved what they got, it shortened the war by years and saved countless allied lives by the way.

The Japanese had already surrendered when the bomb was dropped, so no it didn't shorten the war at all.... and nobody deserves that

As a life-long communist and supporter of the Cuban Revolution until his death, Alberto Korda claimed no payment for his picture. A modified version of the portrait through the decades was also reproduced on a range of different media, though Korda never asked for royalties. Korda reasoned that Che's image represented his revolutionary ideals, and thus the more his picture spread the greater the chance Che's ideals would spread as well. However, Korda did not want commercialization of the image in relation to products he believed Guevara would not support, especially alcohol.

This belief was displayed for the first time in 2000, when in response to Smirnoff using Che's picture in a vodka commercial, Korda sued advertising agency Lowe Lintas and Rex Features, the company that supplied the photograph. Lintas and Rex claimed that the image was in the public domain. The final result was an out of court settlement for (US) 50,000 to Korda, which he donated to the Cuban healthcare system
Funny seeing all these wankers walking round with a murderer on their t-shirts.

They had not surrendered they were trying to get better terms for a surrender
The invasion of Japan was the other alternative ,and would have cost 500,000 more allied lives,
The atomic bomb hastened the end of the Second World War in Asia, liberating hundreds of thousands of Western citizens, including about 200,000 Dutch and 400,000 Indonesians ("Romushas") from Japanese concentration camps. Moreover, Japanese troops had committed atrocities against millions of civilians (such as the infamous Nanking Massacre), and the early end to the war prevented further bloodshed.
Ever heard of the Burma Railroad you bleeding heart liberals make me sick.

I'm very curious as to why you consider him a murder BT, do you feel the same way about all military figures or is it just those of a socialist persuasion?

One man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. Mandela, Bin Laden, Che. It doesn't sit well with everyone but it is definitely the case.
