Finally, the evil Khmer Rouge is in court. This story could be seen as the equivalent to the Nuremberg trials of Nazi war criminials. 1.7 million Cambodians were killed from 1975-1979 under this evil regime led by Pol Pot. Isn't it ironic that we posted the Kissinger film moments ago before giving you this story. It was Nixon and Kissinger's U.S secret bombings in Cambodia during the Vietnam War(intended to slow down the North Vietnamese who used Cambodia for supply runs) that caused the disarray Pol Pot rose out from. The Cambodia bombings also caused nationwide campus protests, leading to the Kent State tragedy in 1970 when the National guard opened fire on students killing four students. CSNY then wrote the inspired classic "Ohio." We're off on a tangent here but hey, it's Monday and the coffee is kicking in! click here
