I can only refer you to my previous comment, but as a brainwashed Fuji-Fascist the logic will be lost on you, as your Dear Leader the Supreme Deity of Peru who can do no wrong has clearly rotted your mind.

As for Keiko, I wish her as much pain and suffering as I would any other Peruvian or foreign politician. It’s a sad fact that they are all in the game to enrich themselves and serve their own interests. All the good honest people with leadership qualities who want to help others and improve their countries or the world are off running charities and the like.

I hope this reply doesn’t merit sending a secret death squad led by a quasi intelligence-service-come-drug-lord type. Oh wait, Fujimori’s friends are all in jail.

This article is one of the most worthless and biased commentaries, and yes it’s a commentary based on opinion. Alberto Fujimori to me is a respectable and perhaps the most respected politician to ever live in my opinion.

I actually wished I was Peruvian to have a respected elected democratic leader like Fujimori. I strogly believe that Keiko will win and will have the honor of serving the Peruvian people. She has integrity and the will power to lead. Keiko, if you’re reading this,?????????????????????

Sara, I have no problem with recognising people’s achievements, for example you forgot your Dear Leader’s rescue of the economy as one of these. Along with the achievements one must also recognise the crimes. If a doctor murdered your mother for fun, then cured your father’s cancer, is he a hero, or do you praise him for his good, then send him to jail for his bad?

I am saddened that you think the lives of your family are worth several times more than those that died at the hands of Fujimori’s anti-terror terror death squads, but the truth is, I understand that harsh times call for harsh measures, and am willing to accept what happened as a sad part of history that 1) should not be repeated and 2) debating what happened is a waste of time. We must merely remember all the dead, and make sure such things aren’t repeated.

In your ignorance, you seem to have skipped over the articles I have written about terrorism and proceeded to claim that I am the one that is ignorant.

In conclusion, hail your Dear Leader Dictator of Peru for his excellent management of the Shining Path and the economy, now may he pay for his corruption, his destruction of democracy and free press, and his death squads.

I would have been happy for all to have been forgotten, and for him to have stayed in Japan, but remember, he is only in jail now because his ego brought him back. He practically volunteered to be jailed.

Everybody talks about how much money he took! YOU should talk about TERRORISM… In my childhood, I lived in hell! My friend’s dad was killed by the terrorism, my best friend was killed because of a bomb, and a lot of people from my town lost their beloved ones because of terrorism… including myself!! I have seen dead people in the streets covered in blood, and kids crying because they lost their parents! I had to live in the darkness… and it was not only me, it was thousands of children living in the same situation as I. I also lived with fear of being kidnaped and be killed!!! Or worse… Yes, there was worse than death…!!! My dad was almost killed simply because he was a veteran. Do you think that is fair? Thanks to Fujimori, my family is alive today as I see it, as well as millions of families too! And if somebody like Fujimori wants to take money in order to stop this hell, I dont mind… No money in the world is going to give me back my dear friend or my relatives…Now you tell me, what would you do if you have to live a september 11,2001 every single day? Peruvians lived it for over 15 years, every single day! If Fujimori goes for the 4th round I would happily to vote for him!

$556,000 / 4 children is $139,000 per sibling. Considering most business schools cost about $50,000 a year (maybe more for private institutions) along with room and board, transportation, and food, it sounds about right. I doubt Alberto Fujimori was really guilty, seeing as how corruption in Peru is everywhere they could’ve just wanted to get rid of Fujimori by framing him and now they’re after his daughter. Typical of Peruvian politicians who do nothing but point fingers rather than solve major crisis like Alberto Fujimori did. I’d love to see what Keiko does if she wins presidency.

An expensive education for each sibling, not just Keiko! That´s a lot of cash.

Yep, I agree with you Ward. I said at the time when Fujimori was in Chile awaiting extradition, that I wish he had just stayed in Japan and left Peru alone. Unfortunately he had other more pressing personal interests that never played out.

$556,000 education??? That’s got to be one heck of an academic talent.

Frankly, Peru has more important issues to worry about today and for the future. I think it will go down in history as a great irony that the current crop of leaders are prosecuting the Fujimoris. Not meaning to say Alberto Fujimori didn’t deserve to be held accountable, but what about everyone else, how long do you want to spend looking back when there’s so much that needs to get done going forward?
