Jerry, I think that the behavior of some of the more prominent supporters of the PCP on other lists is enough to give pause regarding what they might do if they were to come to power. OTOH, I do think that the comparison with the Khmer Rouge is overdrawn and inaccurate. You may remember that when this came up on some of those other lists, both Luis Quispe and Adolfo Olaechea loudly argued that the PCP does not support the policies of the Khmer Rouge. This was at a time when Luis and Adoflo were fervently denouncing each other as police spies, Fujimori agents, etc. Barkley Rosser On Sat, 26 Apr 1997 23:21:15 -0700 (PDT) Gerald Levy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Michael Perelman wrote: > > > By the way, I was saddened to see the MRTA written off as pathetic losers > > on pen-l. > > Nonetheless, it was most revealing _about some Shining Path supporters_ > that they actually _celebrated_ the death of the MRTA rebels ("another > obstacle out of the way" or words to that effect).
