April 1995Cambodia is a still deeply scarred by Pol Pot's holocaust. More than a million people may have died during his reign. The Khmer Rouge and Pol Pot were at the heart of the circumstances which brought the USA into the Vietnam War - one of the cruellest of the Cold War disputes. This feature paints a picture of a people still struggling to forget the devastation of Pot's own special brand of social reform. Mental illness is rife and neighbour still fears neighbour.

Jul 7, 2008 - Only more Cambodians would die if a trial happens. Most people from Cambodia know that. We westerners shouldnt impose what makes us feel better. Let the country deal with it their way, and theyre going fine. Stop idealising some of you.

Jul 7, 2008 - I'm sorry to say this but most Westerns only do what they think is right to their ideas. From 1979-1991, Cambodia was denied food aides from the whole Western world because of Vietnam connection. The leaders of KR were even allowed to remain their seats at the UN. and now, they want to trial these guys? For the record, KR surrendered because of the Peace treaty between Khmer, not any Western backed action. Let me say this! Only Khmer can solve Khmer problems!
Stas988 Says:
Jul 7, 2008 - yes i agree with everything you said. To let this ise stop and not punnish people shows that Cambodia is the only country in the whole word who can give forgiveness, even if the crimes are terrible. Its the only way to stop the killing.

Jul 7, 2008 - Cambodia is a mess and will always be a mess. Why? Because this is the mentality of Khmer people. Once curruption exist, Cambodia will never prosper but only the rich will get richer.

Jul 7, 2008 - Those men deserve a fate worse than death, they should be made to work in the fields, imprisoned, tortured and killed. Exactly what they did, but two wrongs do not make a right, even though it's what they deserve. I am going to Cambodia next February and am looking foreward to learning more about the rasime.
