(La segunda parte esta en espa#ol - mirar mas abajo, por favor).

	     =====   ======    ======    ======    =====

According to the MIM (a great credit to MIT for hosting such thing), they, 
"at MIM, know both sides of the story." They acknowledge to have a direct 
line to Sendero Luminoso which places them in a very important position. 
From that privileged location, and able to inspect both sides...
	lo and behold... they discover the value of their claims and
means to obtain them: They possess the true truth, they are enlightened, 
they must also enlighten others. (NOTE: Sendero Luminoso could also be 
translated as Enlightened Path)

Sendero Luminoso is right, they say. Do not believe their opponents, they 
add. Then, they justify, with numbers and so-called facts, that objectivity.

Well, let us just say Sendero Luminoso takes over Peru. What would they do 
from the outset? What would their first actions be?

The answer was already witnessed by a horrified world after the fall of the 
K'mer Rouge and the Pol Pot regime in Cambodia some years back. Some of us 
do not forget. None of us could appologize for such horror. Only a sick  
mind would ever promote it. 

This is the nightmare Peru will experience should Sendero Luminoso take
over. This is the part of Sendero Luminoso's political philosophy 
that their spokesmen/women would not mention. This is at the foundation 
of Abimael Guzman's thoughts (Sendero Luminoso's leader, now in jail).
This is not wild imagination but documented and published fact. 
				     
Those of you, would be sympathizers of Sendero Luminoso may dissagree. 
Congratulate yourself, dissagreement would not be possible in their type 
of regime. 

To end, 
How come, in a list like this where the main language used is spanish, 
MIM's posts are in English?  
Because they are trying to reach mainly English speakers. 
They realize latin-americans --who know spanish-- know better than to 
believe their "unbiased" reporting.  We do know it too well.  
Also, they ask for money as a subscription to their "unbiased" reporting  
that they are posting for "free" here? 
Smart fishing? --or hopes that fish ain't smart, uh?

=============================

De acuerdo al reporte del MIM, ellos "conocen ambas caras de la historia." 
Reconocen publicamente tener una linea directa con Sendero Luminoso (aja) que
los pone en una posicion muy importante. Con esa ventaja pueden inspeccionar
los dos lados de la controversia. Asi descubren el verdadero valor de los
reclamos de Sendero Luminoso y de la forma en que hacen los reclamos. Dicen
que Sendero Luminoso esta en lo correcto y sus oponentes equivocados, aunque
el MIM dice no creer a esos oponentes de Sendero Luminoso. Y asi continuan
en su articulo defendiendo su objetividad (?) con numeros y estadisticas (?).

Pues bien, digamos que SL llega a tomar el poder. ?Que es lo que harian?
?Cuales serian sus primeras acciones?

La respuesta a esto ya ha sido dada al mundo que la ha visto en los campos de
muerte en Cambodia cuando el regimen de Pol Pot y el Kmer Rouge tomaron el 
poder hace algunos a#os. Algunos de nosotros no nos olvidamos. Y ninguno de 
nosotros, como seres humanos, aun aquellos que aparentemente menosprecian la
vida suya o la del projimo, deberian desear semejante ba#o de sangre. Este no
es un comentario a tontas y a locas, esta documentado que ese es el origen
filosofico de Guzman y por ende de Sendero Luminoso.

Aquellos de ustedes, lectores, que esten en desacuerdo con estas lineas pueden
hacerlo libremente. Ese desacuerdo seria imposible en un regimen como el 
descrito.  

Para finalizar:  Se dan cuenta de como el MIM escribe en esta lista, y lo hace
en ingles?  Quiere decir que su audiencia es principalmente los "neteros" de 
habla inglesa, especialmente de EE.UU.? Yo creo que si. 
Y tienen la conchudez de pedir plata por sus suscripciones (que las ponen
gratis para nosotros). Los tontos que se las manden.
