Must not have thought much of it, eh?

When the people fear their government, there is tyranny; when the government fears the people, there is liberty.

Empty, as usual.

Save America; boycott the MSM.

What was interesting about it was the manner in which the US helped motivate the push for the communist government of the Khmer Rouge by invading.

Baloney.  We didn’t motivate the push for communist government by invading Vietnam, we emboldened the communists by invading and then not having the will to a) wage the war in a serious manner and b) complete the mission.

It was the corrupt Marxist ideology that instructed them to slaughter all the “infidels"(those who didn’t want communism).  Duh.

The film was about Cambodia and I was referring to the invasion of Cambodia. In Cambodia, according to the testimonies and first person accounts, our invasion pushed many moderate citizens to join forces with people they might not normally have buddied up to in an effort to repel the US forces.
It was also a French made film, perhaps they found some ‘buck passing’ testimonies. Also, these people did horrible things so they would probably rather name any scapegoat that comes to mind, much as the people they tortured did, rather than admit their guilt.

Sparkie: Ya think?

Rob’s comment still stands, as whenever we don’t follow through with terrorists, it emboldens them, like Clinton did with OBL and Somalia.  Don’t believe me; Osama said it.

Save America; boycott the MSM.

I saw this film. I asked myself a few questions when it was over. After seeing the guards tell their horrific stories (give their confessions)...... where are the criminal trials?  Where are those watch dog human rights groups? We are still hunting and trying to deport ex Nazi guards 60+ years after the fact. In this case we have perpetrators of murder and torture confessing to crimes from 30+ years ago, and we have..... nothing. Why no public outrage over the atrocities committed in Cambodia?
I guess the poor Cambodian murder victims lost out to global warming and saving the whales......sad.
