Pol Pot's Shadow

During her 2002 IRP Fellowship Amanda Pike traveled to Cambodia where she found "Brother Number Two," the former Khmer Rouge commander, living at liberty in the country he helped destroy. From 1975 to 1979, nearly 2 million people died -- and the survivors still live side by side with the perpetrators.

The piece aired on the PBS program Frontline/WORLD in October 2002.

Just examine where the Buddhists live: do you see Veganism or even Vegetarianism.? No. Do you see harmony and good will? No.

[asianwannabeamerican]

@lumpagogo what makes you say that? what evidence or examples of that have ever happened?

Buddhists talk peace and love but they murder animals and people same as anybody else.
