Hakan and Guag, What we in Singapore know about Cambodia is only write up by Cambodian refugees and King Norodom Sihanouk.
When the Killing Fields was aired, everyone was outraged and enraged. Subsequently the local news carried more news about later developments. By then more than 2 million innocent Cambodians were slaughtered with the skulls stacked in temple and shown on TV. Subsequently there were news about Vietnamese capturing Cambodia. Pol Pot and Khieu Samphan fled into the China. King Sihanouk all these while was sick and being treated in Beijing and was powerless. We were aware that Pol Pot army were armed by the Chinese and Russians. Finally we read that China had enough and told Vietnam to get out of Cambodia or faced the wrath of the Chinese Army. The Chinese moved a Division of their crack Szechuan unit across Vietnam's border and Vietnam immediately moved out of Cambodia and Hun Sen was allowed to take over Cambodia. What happened to 2 million Cambodian innocently killed by a lunatic Pol Pot was certainly beyond comprehension? Killing Adolf Hitler would not bring back millions of innocent Jews. The hanging of General Tojo would not bring back the 20 million Chinese killed by the Japanese Army who claimed he was acting under orders of the Japanese Emperor. Some people trying to blame the Chinese Government for the Killing Fields in Cambodia, certainly has no leg to stand on. Moral - We must not let any lunatic run a country. Bush thought Saddam was lunatic so he moved in.
