KHEMER ROUGE TRIBUNAL DELAYED

The process of making the surviving leaders of the Khmer rouge has been delayed.

The long-delayed special tribunal charged with prosecuting the surviving leaders of Cambodia's former genocidal Khmer Rouge regime has hit a political snag, exposing politically powerful elements in the country that strongly oppose the United Nations-sponsored legal proceedings


Hopefully, those responsible for the deaths of millions will soon get their just desserts.

I guess you had to be there to have an opinion, but try watching The Killing Fields, if you need a remoinder.

More on the Cambobian stuff.

It is hot and dusty. The stale air of the Cambodian capital is heavy with exhaust fumes. Traffic is chaotic. Street children and beggars besiege posh-looking French cafés on the Sap River; tourists and international workers pretending to lead a normal life by sipping foamy cappuccinos are approached by amputees and men with gangrenous limbs.

A man in his fifties, approaching café tables with an extended hand, is missing an entire half of his face. There is a hole instead of his right eye and it serves as base for an enormous infected tumor which covers his entire cheek. Some beggars have no arms and no legs; their families or handlers bring them in the morning to Sisowath Quay, put a big plastic bucket for donations in front of their face on the sidewalk and let them rot in the unbearable tropical heat until the evening


In a country that millions died and there is no response. Figures!
