If matters turn out well, they look like statesmen and visionaries; if things go sour, it was their fault for not foreseeing the obvious and inevitable. Ollanta Humala might keep his promises and complement Peru’s spectacular economic growth over the past decade with sensible social policies.
如果事态发展顺利，他们会被奉为有识之士和政治家；但如果局势突然恶化，他们就要为未能预见明显且不可避免的未来而负责。奥兰塔·乌马拉也许会恪守自己的诺言，用明智的社会政策来补充秘鲁十年来蔚为壮观的经济发展。他也可能反其道而行之。人们可以钦佩巴尔加斯·略萨果断冒险的惊人勇气，但却不一定认为这次冒险是正确的选择。
