I don't think that this is an example of hypocrisy because the Americans have a right to be working with the Pakistanis to combat Al Qaeda and the Taliban because those are the terrorist groups that reign the world. They are behind the September 11th attacks of America and behind the recent Mumbai, India terrorist attacks. When Che was working with the Cubans there was no group that was terrorizing the world, he was simply working to overthrow an existing government. However, today America is trying to help rid the world of terrorists. America has the right to do this because they are simply helping the Pakistanis, not taking over the whole take down of the terrorist groups. The terrorist groups, as stated in the article, are destabilizing Pakistan so there really is a need to weed out Al Qaeda and the Taliban, not like in Che's situation in Cuba when it was a choice to start a revolution not a necessity.
I agree with you that this is not an example of hypocrisy because the Al Qaeda destabilize the Pakistanis and threatened the American troops. The Americans is only helping so that nothing like september 11 will happen again and help put Pakistanis.
