Sir you are the one that created Khmer Rouge..
Ironic that the Khmer Rouge held a seat in the United Nations until 1993.
Saloth Sar should have faced justice many years sooner
How come any of his army not brought to justice..???
Because they are corrupt. It took until 2007 before they captured number 2 of the Red Khmer regime and it was not until 2014 that they jailed him for life. The rulers of Cambodia today are the same people installed by Vietnam in 1979. First they acted as the ''true communists'', then they dropped their Marxist-Leninist facade and became supporters of the monarchy and capitalism by 1993. Dictator Hun-Sen is a man of many colors, who started as a supporter of Pol Pot in 1975, then he betrayed him and joined the Vietnamese side. In 1985, Hun-Sen was made prime minister and he has never let go of that power. The ruling bureaucracy of Cambodia is by all accounts the pro-Vietnamese wing of the former Red Khmer, who broke with Pol Pot in 1978.
Some were granted amnesty. And blended back in with the regular army

What are you talking about.
Irrationalism, are you from Cambodia? Did you enjoy rule under Pol Pot? All that poverty and starvation I suppose that’s what we all want from a leader.
