Or will they be more interested in assigning monetary damages needing to be paid by the US

Fi fy fo fum. I smell the cash of Christendom.

the UN secretary general, Kofi Annan, was about to launch an appeal to member states to raise the modest sum of $56m to fund the tribunal that would have investigated the genocide.

Has Kojo Annon gotten out of the oil business and into the investigating genocide business?

actually, the first step in preventing something like this is accepting it happened. Many Leftists like noam chomsky claim that nothing happened in cambodia.

This travesty of diplomacy has become one of the most shameful chapters in UN history. Cambodia, already a victim of US B52 bombing and the Pol Pot regime, was made to suffer all over again because it had been liberated in 1979 by the wrong country, Vietnam.

Got to give the liberal author of this piece credit for his skill in mental dexterity in composing a paragraph that spares the feelings of those responsible(antiwar Idiots). Intellectual dishonesty and transparent history rewrite aside, of course.

It is still an article of faith amongst the international hate-America crowd that "the US supported Pol Pot." The lies just keep on spreading, like a disease.

Jimmie Carter and his liberal U.S. Senate gave Cambodia to Pol Pot. The present top Cambodian politician spent some time with the Khmer Rouge and rose pretty high before he left them. He has said, publicly, that in the early 1970s the Khmer Rouge believed they would never actually be able to take over the country because the U.S. would not abandon the Lon Nol government. They had the Thai's, the Vietnamese and the U.S. against them. They expected they would always be just a rural guerilla force. Little did they know of Carter's benevolence. I guess they hadn't heard Carter's comments about how Americans shouldn't have so much fear of communism.

Carter should be buried in Cambodia and Clinton should be buried in Rwanda. May God have mercy on their souls.

........US is really to blame......

Personally I blame the Democrats and peaceniks like John Kerry, Jane Fonda, John Lennon and the other assorted moonbats who thought they were doing the world a big favor back in the 70's.

[driftless]

I remember at the time the Carter administration not wanting to do anything because it would make the region (ta da!!!) "unstable". All the lefties said nothing or pretended, like Chomsky, that nothing bad was going on. I do remember W.F. Buckley strongly urging something be done about it.

US must be a pretty amazing country if it gets blamed for everything on the planet.

[infidel dog]

Jimmy Carter should be shot as a traitor, skinned, stuffed and hung upside down in the Cambodian Genocide Memorial, a fitting resting place for the sanctimonious grinning Communist. As for the disposition of his rotten soul, well, I think he should invest in warm-weather gear...

Did Judge Greer rule that this was legal?

<< Have liberals EVER been on the right side of history? >>

Never.

And the sufferer of the liberal psychosis who vomited this diatribe poses the trend no threats!

Jimmy Carter the great humanitarian is America's worst President. I voted for Ford!
