Reply #16: fujimori is more complex than he's usually painted, that's for sure [View All]

the real ass in gov't was montecinos. what a monster! now, how deep the collusion between fujimori and montecinos, i haven't really found a 100% clear answer. but the fujimori scooby doo "mystery machine" search for fugitive montecinos was thoroughly amusing to say the least.

the corruption of peru, along with the general shocking madness at times, is breathtaking. having relatives there and getting the dirt on how things work and bits and pieces of info where one can find it elsewhere paints a strange and fascinating picture indeed. peru is a land of extremes, physically, and somehow it seems to filter into the social, political, and all other aspects of the country. it's true what they say about it, "tierra del milagros," it truly is the land of miracles. expect the unexpected there.
