Dear All, In reply to the following assertion:
"The Khmer Rouge leaders including Duch can't be forgiven. We can't even forgive a person who murders a person; we'll send him/her to jail." Let me simply state that the above rhetoric sounds nice on paper, but the author forgets that the reality in Srok Khmer is otherwise. Case in point: the current leaders of the Royal Government of Cambodia are all former Khmer Rouge officials, they may not be the top leaders, but they were regional leaders/commanders. As for sending a murderer to jail, this is not so in Srok Khmer either: the killers rule, the maimed and landless go to jail. You don't need to believe me just read the news by yourself, that is if you have the courage to face the truth. Last bu not least, please leave Lord Buddha out of this, this is merely communist issues. Thank you, M.
