I didn't know whether to puke or cry!
I was gonna save this for my blog and yes I will put some form of this there, but today, I visited the museum of genocide that used to be a high school before the Khmer Rouge got a hold of it, if this email is a little incoherent I apoligize but you have to add a little booze to the situation, to the things I saw today or otherwise they will haunt you till the day you die, they probally still will no matter what you do.
First I paid a moto driver (I rode on the back of a scooter for about eight miles) to take me to the killing fields, a place were over 8000 men women and children, were bruttally beaten to death (they didn't want to waste precious bullets) and then buried in mass graves in the mid 1970s some thirty years after Nazi Germany, all because Pol Pot had become like Stalin before him insane whith shadows behind him, trying to give him what he deserved, a long drawn out painful death.
Instead Pol Pot gave that to his very own people, it wasn't like the nazis where a diffrent ethnic group was blamed for eveything, these people were mostly Khmers just like Pol Pot, most of them their only crime was being tortured so horrendously they couldn' help but give out names of innocent people who were inturn rounded up like cattle, and tortured untill they gave names of others who were also rounded up.
But the Khmer Rouge did something the soviets and the nazis did not do quite as good, they kept immaculate records of thier crimes. Right down to photographing everyone who went through their torture chambers and then onto the killing fields.
Have you ever stared at the faces of little one and two year olds, that were doomed to die? These same babies would be about my age today if the Khmer Rouge would have let them live. If humanity would have stood up for them. Instead politicaians in places like Beijing, Paris, Bangkok, London, and Washington DC turned a blind eye, the Khmer Rouge after all were fighting against the evil Vietnamese, and thats all that mattered to them.
You know Pol Pot is the only person ever to be bought to justice for these crimes, and that took God himself strinking that evil bastard down, otherwise the perpatrators of these crimes still run free, why wouldn't they when the very countries that supported the Khmer Rouge, China, France, the UK and the USA are all permant members of the UN Security Council, and Russa well she has enough blood of her own on her hands!!
Have you ever stood before a tower of 8000 skulls? Have you ever placed a mourning rose next to the smallest skull you could find? (The smallest one was still smaller than my fist!).
I believe its Psamls 137 vs 8 and 9 that says (though I could be mistaken) "Happy are those who get even with you for what you've done to us, who take your babies and smash them aginst the rocks." But tell me what kind of sick bastard would be happy at destroying the life of child wanted and loved by his or her parents?
