Living with Terrorism

Last night I went out with my cousins for dinner and while there the topic of Peru's years of terrorism came up.  The Shining Path caused some major chaos here from in the 80's the worst of it being from 1895 - 1990.  Thousands of people died, mostly in the rural parts of Peru caught between the Shining Path and the military, but Lima had it's fair share of attacks.  They talked about all the places that had been blown up, having curfews, always wondering if it was safe to go out or not.  And although I had come to visit during that time and remember once going to see the ruins of a building that had been bombed, I can't imagine having to live your life with constant threats.  They said you just have to keep living, nothing else you can do.
