In llama-land ex-president Fujimori is in trouble. Back in the day, he rescued the Machu Picchu folks from a bad economy and the Shining Path; Peru was in such horrible condition the military refused to stage a coup, they didn't want the headaches. And remember this was a time in South and Central America that military coups were happening every other week.
Fujimori apparently got a little overzealous, and that's what he's in hot water for today. But you have to wonder about Peruvians: they recently re-elected as President Alan Garcia, the guy who stood helpless as the country fell aapart, and Fujimori had to be brought in for the rescue. And you have to wonder further about Peruvians: they perjoratively refer to Fujimori as "El Chino," the Chinaman.
Fujimori is of Japanese ancestry.
I guess USA citizens aren't the only confused Western Hemispherians.
