Enough with the ‘Peace’ symbol

To the editor:
Enough of the 'Peace” symbol. I seem to remember that this symbol was very closely associated with Che Guevara, who was a terrorist and the hired hit man for Fidel Castro. He spread terror throughout South and Central America.
Also, the symbol was used by the radical left during the Vietnam conflict during their demonstrations against returning military. It is anything but a peace symbol.
