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".

Yo khmer ,we are know mistake have been make why don"t you try to get on whith it. Anger not do any good,like old say elder never have shame[ Khmer minn chasch khmass mork pea chhass kormnitt kleay] You know you have Power in your hand used it but wisly .

I haven’t talked much about the tribunal, largely because while I think a good tribunal would be truly beneficial for Cambodia, this tribunal, it is increasingly clear, is little more than another fig leaf for a political regime. The last one was a fig leaf for the recent invading Vietnamese; this one is a fig leaf for the international donor countries, some of who re-armed the Khmer Rouge in the eighties, while allowing their representatives to retain their seat in the UN.My anger and disappointment about this entire thing is nearly incandescent. more about "Khmer Rouge war crimes trial begins -…", posted with vodpod
