[roamingsoul80]

Communists are pieces of shit even shit are far more valuable than they are...

[LeninistStalinMarx]

@roamingsoul80 Yes of course communists are pieces of shits, especialy for the fact that it was communist vietnam who made pol pot fall from power and who saved cambodia.

YESSSS my whole family was in the khmer rouge except for my generation

[deonvan]

Cambodian back then are so talent! Just look at that guy painting! It is bomb. Imagine if other talented khmer people back then still live now a day? There be anime creator, cambodian car, cambodian olympic, probably no disrespect but better than Thai and tie with Hong Kong! Thai would get jealous. compare to Khmer now day??? It sucks. No ideal people that you can think of in Khmer. I want to be proud of Khmer but I can't now a day. The stupid bitch Pol Pot MESSED EVERYTHING UP! Better Nation?

[gabsylv]

@deonvan Too much nationalism no good. Pol Pot was a Cambodian. You say some Cambodians (artists) are superior to the Thai people, and others (Khmer Rouge leaders) are not? Both the artists and Pol Pot came from the same national group. Bottom line: you can judge people individually, but not by their nationality. No nationality is better than another, just like no individuals are better than another. I'm just saying...

What's in the world isn't art ?? even war is an art.

[KhmerSerey1]

In the future we can only hope for more Khmer men ( artists )like Loke Om Vann Nath,CAMBODIA would be heaven on earth.A Utopian state,a kingdom of heavenlt beauty.Where the heart and spirit of the people are filled with love,forgiveness,creativities and surrounding beauties..

[KhmerSerey1]

Such a beautiful Khmer man( an artist ),he ought to be praised for his skills and talents,not punished like a convict.My heart weeped for him ( Loke Om Vann Nath ).A kingdom deprived of art and creativities is a kingdom without love and surrounding beauties.A hell on earth so to speak..

'Operation Menu was the codename of a covert United States Strategic Air Command (SAC) bombing campaign conducted in eastern Cambodia from 18 March 1969 until 26 May 1970, during the Vietnam War leading to the destruction of over 1,000 towns and villages, the displacement of 2,000,000, and the deaths of over 600,000 Cambodians.'

and what about these US war crimes??? ay ay?

[thereaney5]

thank you for the history and information on Cambodia. Just to let all Cambodian know. You are very brave people, to go through what had happened and took place within your country and now look where it stand. Every Khmer born and birth no matter what percent should be proud. You should be honor. Do not loose the love you have for your country and people.

'...the full range of evidence available, and who concluded that executions have numbered at most in the thousands; that these were localized in areas of limited Khmer Rouge influence and unusual peasant discontent, where brutal revenge killings were aggravated by the threat of starvation resulting from the American destruction and killing.'
