Did the world stand aghast at the monstrous crimes committed by the Khmer Rouge? In The Killing Fields, John Barron and Anthony Paul record the UN's response to the Cambodian blood bath:

"After the desolation of the cities, the early massacres and in the midst of the first famine, one of the Angka Loeu leaders, Ieng Sary, in his incarnation as foreign minister, flew to a special session of the United Nations General Assembly. Upon landing in New York, he boasted, 'We have cleansed the cities,' and when he appeared at the United Nations, the delegates from around the world warmly applauded."

Most of us don't remember this particular little gem, and many who do recall the dark, Lovecraftian horrors of Cambodia's descent into madness and savagery dismiss it out of hand as irrelevant to our circumstances. But it's an old familiar theme to those of us who are paying attention.

The blood is on the hands of the Democrats who forced us out of Indochina.

humans are weak....look at those wimp cops kneeling, especially the one lying prone with his hands behindh is back....

they can not be relied on at all....

people for a couple of decades now on FR have always supported our cops and our soldiers....that they will "protect" us...

well, a lot of them won't....early pensions for these people are like cocaine...they will do anything to get to it....

we're on our own.....
