Subject: RE: Anger over La Cucaracha
Francisco Villa (Pancho) was a hero of the Revolution of the 1913-1915 period, supporting Madero, fighting the wealthy landowners and their army, and giving hacienda land to peasants and his soldiers.
He is honored in Mexico, especially by the rural poor, and Mexicans would be upset by some of the slanders posted here.
