This article about the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia is very disheartening.  It would seem that the people of Cambodia are powerless against their political leaders! The article states that 1.6 million were murdered.  That is a great amount of people.  Then why has it taken so long to give justice to the dead.  The Khmer Rouge and the Maoists are the same.  Mao had fifty million killed.  The Maoists and the Stalinists are the same.  Stalin had about thirty million killed.  And the Stalinists and the Nazi’s are the same.  Hitler had 17 million killed.  However, the world fought a war against Hitler and ignored Stalin’s atrocities.  Some Western liberal journalists like Walter Lippmann denied and then excused Stalin.  Recently, we have heard Secretary Dunn of the Obama Administration say that her favorite political figure was Mao.  It seems she too denied or excused the mass murders of his brutal regime.  And today we have the Obama Administration illegally at war with Gaddafi while ignoring the genocides of sub Sahara Africa.  Regarding Libya, this writer has consistently said that the Obama War against Gaddafi is illegal Western Aggression.  It is a war and not a United Nations Security Action.  The forces of Colonialist France and Imperialist Britain are behind that horrific bombing campaign.  And it is played out in our news media as though we should all yawn at it and turn to the latest hollywood dress contest!  At least the Republican leadership in the House of Representatives has called out the President for his warmongering and criminal actions.  They have even been bold enough to defeat resolutions by the two Presidential losers McCain and Kerry, who offered craven support to Obama for his brutal Libya war policies.  But they fall short in not refusing funding for even more daily bombing of the Libyan people and more daily destruction of their property, housing, building, roads, hospitals, schools private property.  How would you feel if your neighbors all joined together to wag a finger of shame at the hooligans who were smashing your house to rubble but did not lift a hand to stop them?  Well, mere shaming the President is the same thing.  The Congress must tell the military that it will not pay another dime for the Libyan Criminal Aggression by the Obama administration.  Now, back to the Khmer Rouge.  It is wrong that the leaders of such admittedly mass criminal murder of 1.6 million people should have been allowed to remain free until now.  It is even more wrong that the cynical politicians of Cambodia and the United Nations should treat this case so lightly.  I guess that Asian lives are not as valuable as Western lives.  And where is Israel and Ellie Weisel?  Are the Jews of the concentration camps more valuable than Asian lives?  And where is Obama?  Does he not want to pontificate on this issue of long-standing grievance?  Such an attitude does ask the question of “Who is there to defend the murdered?”
