I was like, 'Why isn't (President Richard) Nixon there for the Vietnam war Vietnam War, conflict in Southeast Asia, primarily fought in South Vietnam between government forces aided by the United States and guerrilla forces aided by North Vietnam. ?' You'd have to put a lot of pictures of other people there before you'd put Che's," Contactmusic quoted Benicio, as telling Latina magazine. "We tell stories about Batman, and he was a type of Batman. No one can deny that he was trying to stop man exploiting man. Whether he was successful or not...," Benicio added.
