The remnants of a brutal regime led by Pol Pot, Cambodia's former communist leader, can still be found in the western town of Pailin where many former members of his Khmer Rouge government still reside.

Al Jazeera's Laura Kyle reports that many of of the Khmer comrades are too busy making money to care about a UN backed tribunal that could put the former leaders on trial.

Please look up the meaning of socialism and you will find that the USA has had many socialist policies for the past one hundred years. For example, the social security, medicare, subsidies to busuness, and public education are just a few examples of socialism.

In other words, the USA nor any other country has never been a completely capitalist or libertarian country. And on the other side, with very few exceptions, most socialist countries also practice or allow some form of capitalism.

I respect your country even though you do not respect mine. But the truth is you made a foolish statement. Iceland is in Scandanavia & it did collapse. So to say you live better than anyone else is wrong. I live in America & I do ok. I live in out in farm country & life is sweet.
