As a survivor of the Khmer Rouge regime, I can’t say I’m too enthusiastic about the current tribunal. Trying a handful of surviving Khmer Rouge leaders is unlikely to deliver neither justice nor closure for Cambodians. After all, Pot Pol and many top leaders have already died peacefully in their sleeps. Not on trial are the countless lower level KR cadres who were “just following orders”.

Here is a link to another journalist that who is American…. Bernard Krisher

“Bernard Krisher, a small 75-year-old American, is little known to Cambodian people while he has actually done so much for the country.”

…..a great movie and even “greater” story. So sad that after all Dith Pran had gone through in Cambodia with the Khmer Rouge, he succumbs to pancreatic cancer. R.I.P. Pran.

I read about this earlier. I’d say that unfortunately there are so many people in our country that have no idea about the Khmer Rouge. It’s very sad how uninformed so many people are.
