30 year ann. of Pol Pots horror The 30 year anniversary of the seizure of power by Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge regime occurs today. The 30 year anniversary of the seizure of power by Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge regime occurs today. After Henry Kissenger illegally bombed Cambodia to destabilise the regime of King Norodom and allow Pol Pot to strike armed and supplied by the CIA, a regime of brutality and genocide was unleashed on the Cambodian populace. They said never again after WW2 but this was a replay on a near similar scale to the holocaust. The city dwellers were marched to the countryside to work the killing fields. If you were too sick to walk you were shot regardless of age or sex. Pregnant women were forced to march and often gave birth by the roadsides followed by a violent death if they failed to resume walking. Most people are aware of what happened in general in these horrible times. |

"Even after the reports of their brutality and genocide were reported by brave reporters such as Robert Fisk"
Do you not mean John Pilger?
'For the sake of the victims lets not forget the murderous complicity of the US and UK in this horror story. Is a story they don’t want you to know!'
Yes, let's not forget the past.
worse yet is the present.
Powell and the Bushies arm twisted the Cambodians into making US Troops exempt from prosecution in the ICC/World Court. Sickening.
''....Colin Powell took a brief trip to Cambodia to persuade Prime Minister Hun Sen to sign an Article 98 agreement. An Article 98 agreement is one in which nations that are party to the International Criminal Court agree to exempt US personnel from prosecution....''
