Man, that's a long time to wait for a Happy Meal.
"I going to DISNEY WORLD!"
let me think.....they were part of a group that killed 1.7 million people, and yet they are welcomed back home like heroes?

This really has no bearing on thier situation. We don't know what positions they held in the KR. The current Premier of Cambodia, Hun Sen, was also part of the KR before fleeing to Vietnam. Hatred of the Vietnamese was one of the driving themes of the KR and these people were probably brainwashed into thinking that any Khmer would be shot on sight by the Vietnamese. Going out on a limb, most people in Cambodia that are over 40 years old probably had something to do with the KR based on the simple fact that they are alive.

Since when do Brit's say "No way"?
Keep in mind US culture is exported all over the world through movies and television, yes even to Cambodia. It is amazing the slang you can hear even in very backwards places. There are even locals who will go out of their way to use the latest slang that they have heard. People are people no matter where in the world they are.
"Since when do Brit's say "No way"?"
Well, that might just depend on where you were educated or spend a lot of your time.
I use Chinese slang quite often....I'm an American (caucasian)
Paraphrases would have been more appropriate rather than "quotes".
This reporter is confused. He seems to think he's working as a movie-dubber.
