If he is a hero, then why should he be pardoned? The charges must have been fake, right? He was a holy 'rightwing conservative' as well who did nothing wrong, and the actions of the Grupo Colina death squads must have 'misinterpreted' his directions. The various massacres, some of which involved the killing of children, were also manufactured lies against this hero of heroes who can do no wrong. So was the forced sterilisation of several hundred thousand women.

The difference between me and you TGJ when it comes to communism is as follows ....you believe communism is an absolute evil, and that anything that is against it therefore must be good and embraced. I, on the other hand, also believe that communism is an absolute evil, but I am not myopic enough to accept that anything against it must be good and embraced. Sometimes you have two evils, one absolute and one not-so-bad-but-still-not-kosher (which is why I stated before that while I would have wanted Keiko to win for market-based reason since some of my PE Funds are SA focused, I did not necessarily think that she was Mary Immaculate or anything close). There are many shades of gray, and just because Stalin is a b@$stard with his own spot of honor in Hades doesn't mean that Hitler helps Saint Pete with the keys to the Pearly Gates.

You might as well call George W. Bush a fascist who sent "death squads" to kill innocent children in Haditha and make human pyramids at Abu Ghraib.

Fujimori fought a war against communism and he won. That's why he's hated and that's why he's unjustly imprisoned.

Now we will see a resurgence of Sendero Luminoso, and Peru will be desperate for a Fujimori to save them again.
