Dith Pran's Genocide the Curse of the 21st Century

The political activist and photojournalist will address the potential for such an atrocity in any country including the United States. Pran survived one of the bloodiest genocides in human history, the Cambodian tragedy set forth by the Communist Khmer Rouge in the 1970s. Pran's story was portrayed in the Academy award-winning movie, The Killing Fields. Determined to educate the world and assure that the Cambodian genocide is not forgotten nor repeated, he has founded The Dith Pran Holocaust Awareness Project.

RIP Dith Pran.

Yes, I think your idea is good. It is the same to what I have in my mind. But it is really not that fair that the world does not want peace. The super power countries in the world really like to go to war so as to take advantage from other countries else.

How do you think about this? Do not you think that USA is master of war?

"Russia did have combat Pilots in Vietnam during the early 70's."

What is your source for this information?

[SArmagh681]

Russia did have combat Pilots in Vietnam during the early 70's. 8 Russian pilots were killed by US warplanes and another 5 shot down, The Russian pilots never shot down a US plane, they would go up and try to provide support to the vietmenese pilots and were shot down during the Hanoi Bridges operation in late 1972. After that the Russians limited their presence to no more than 15 training advisers

"russia was trying to spread communism"

This is a big lie that has been promoted by U.S. government and business interests for 90 years now, ever since the Russian Revolution.

If you want to see this lie in action, pay attention to the news with respect to what is going on in Bolivia and Venezuela right now. And make sure to read between the lines, i.e. what they tell you on the news is the U.S. government line. Listen to BBC online.

What books have you read about the Vietnam War?

After WW2, Ho Chi Minh sent numerous communiques to President Truman asking the U.S. for help in the Vietnamese struggle against French efforts to reestablish colonial rule in Vietnam. All of these went unanswered. Ho quoted the U.S. Declaration of Independence when he publicly declared his struggle against the French at a public square in Hanoi. Since the U.S. would not help the Vietnamese people to keep free, Ho asked the Soviets for help. The U.S. supported the French fighting the VN.

You wrote "(I) did not intend to state that russia had troops (in Vietnam)"

Then what is someone supposed to assume when you wrote "the russians were fighting to spread communism"?

The spread of Communism was not "promoted" by Russia. This was the supposed reason for the U.S. involvement in Vietnam. Communism is a philosophy to which anyone can subscribe. It requires no indoctrination of any kind to do so. Russia gave material assistance to Ho Chi Minh & the N Vietnamese.

well done i couldnt think of the term u used for myself "domino theory". history class has been to long for me. haha

[lilthaifighter]

what i wrote which i thank you for saying 5 months ago cuhz i sure as hell wouldnt remember, did not intend to state that russia had troops there. fighting doesnt always mean physical combat. what i intended to direct is exactly what ur saying. they aided them, but in general russia was fighting to spread communism. and those air basses in thailand were the recovery point. they also had a few minor bunkers but those air bases is where they focused there landing of military trainers.
