Ieng Sary, who served as foreign minister in Cambodia's brutal Khmer Rouge regime, was brought before the country's U.N.-backed genocide tribunal with his wife on Monday to face charges of crimes against humanity and war crimes. Ieng Sary and his wife Ieng Thirith, who was minister for social affairs in the 1975-79 Khmer Rouge government, were served with arrest warrants at dawn...the communist Khmer Rouge are widely blamed for the deaths of some 1.7 million people from starvation, disease, overwork and execution. None of the group's leaders has faced trial yet.

But, but, but John F’n Carry said nothing bad happened after we left SE Asia...
When it comes to swift, sure Justice, you really have to hand it to the U.N. They really know their stuff!
Lest one forgets, these 1.7 MILLION murders are just SOME of the murders that took place after our exit from Vietnam....
This does NOT include those that took place in Vietnam, Laos or Thailand -— along the escape routes from Vietnam..
These are just SOME of the murders that Leftist assholes like Jane Fonda, John Kerry, Walter Cronkite and MANY MANY folks said wouldn’t happen...
Well it DID happen...and the bastards have NEVER offered an explanation of how could they have been so freaking WRONG!
When the time came to talk about war crimes trials for the Khmer Rouge they said “Can’t we just forget about the past?”
I say. “Fine! We will only try you for crimes in year zero, one, two, three, four, etc.”
Oh Boy! He’s going to get his now!!!! I’m thinking 300 years of house arrest(with the possibility of special trips to anger management and diversity classes.) Times “Man of the Year” award,being forced- forced mind you to be the UN’s chairman on climate change w/ Algore and ah, picking up trash along the highway.
The Rats fit in here some where but I think it’s going to be nothing more than a slap on the wrist after a lengthly and mind numbing trial. This turns my stomach and just how does the UN get to be the arbiter of justice? Take him to where ever the refuges escaped to and drop him off.

I’m thinking “Nobel Prize”.
ok
Blood’s back down from the boiling point,and I can type again.
RR,
the sKerry thing is that Senator Heinz has continued to maintain that lie...til today. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if Sary or his lawyer mentioned the ‘fact’ that since the USA was cutting off heads, ears, raping and pillaging villages that they just assumed it was ok......
hmmm...
Yah, it is the UN, isn’t it....I had slipped my mind that they might actually find Sary innocent! I mean he did sip lattes in Paris after all...how bad could he be.
Lately, it seems that my blood stays in constant “neck hairs up” mode, the feeling that comes over you when you KNOW the enemy is nearby and sees you before you can see him..
Even now, the TRUE enemy of the Republic is all about us..
They haven’t fired yet, they aren’t strong enough to start a firefight — they’re simply poisoning the country with lies, bullshit, propaganda, “freebies”, illegal immigrant rights, sexual pervert rights, “minority” rights, militant Islamist’s rights, etc, etc, etc....
The ONLY groups in America today, subject to attack without consequence are straight, white, Christian males who speak with a Southern accent, own guns and may have at one time used them against enemies of the Republic..
Sooner or later — we’re going to have some serious “confrontations” and “responses” in this country.
The winners will write the history of how the Republic was “saved”....
At this time — it is NOT clear who that winner will be....
I remain unconvinced that today’s Americans are willing to apply the necessary force or violence if need be....
I know only one Cambodian fellow well. He lost a lot of family over there, been working his butt off over here for years... If it comes to confrontation, I know I can count on him. If things come to “serious confrontation”, I hope my friend is by my side. It’s nice to know that you can die for and with someone who shares some of your same values.
One of the terrible truths about the treachery and lies of Fonda, Kerry, Cronkite, and their Communist fellow travelers — is that most of the GOOD men killed after our exit, were our TRUSTED ALLIES..
These were people who put EVERYTHING at risk to join us in the fight against the VC and NVA Communists....and we abandoned them.
There are MANY stories of the Ethnic Hill tribes fighting on for DECADES after we left......some finally finding their way to sanctuary in Thailand from Vietnam and arriving with their decimated and starving families but their weapons in hand...
The crime of our betrayal of these people, and the raising to positions of honor people like Fonda, Kerry, Kennedy, Cronkite, etc, etc, etc.....will remain a reminder of our shame through eternity...
I don’t think I mentioned that I worked in the refugee camps in Thailand back in ‘79 and ‘80. I mostly worked with the Hmong, but occasionally a few other groups. I was a case worker, helping with the immigration process for our allies. That was just about the time that a bunch of starving survivors managed to get out of Cambodia...
I can speak Thai, but never learned much Cambodian. All I heard in my interviewing was “Bro, Saray, Salap” - brother, sister, dead, I think it was.
It was an ugly scenario....
What is interesting to observe, is how some of the “boat people” from the region have done so well in America - and some have had more difficulty.
“The ONLY groups in America today, subject to attack without consequence are straight, white, Christian males who speak with a Southern accent, own guns and may have at one time used them against enemies of the Republic...”
Fortunately the only attckers today are CNN, Brady bunch,et al. Like you, I just keep the powder dry, and hope I’ll have time to teach the kids how to shoot should the need arise...
Wow...I envy you...you’ve actually got someone to talk to who ‘actually understands’! Can you ( or he) believe the extent to which the media covers the OJ trial so they don’t have to mention the Sary trial!!!!!!!!!Boggles the mind. If I actually mentioned Sary to most of my friends, they would just say Sary...Sary about what!
Well, my buddy was with the Cambodian military, and is a crackerjack mechanic (aircraft at the time, I think). He’s the main mechanic at the Port of Richmond, VA nowadays.
I’ve known Hmong people who could do anything, and others who haven’t a clue. I suppose I could say the same thing about some of my Thai in-laws, LOL.
WRT working in Thailand, you certainly have more current memories, then, than most of us. I’m impressed you speak Thai....I can’t even pronounce their names, but did spend some time in Patpang alley....and the hotel I was staying at then was just up the road, so walking took care of me...what an amazing place....missing by day and every thing the heart mind etc could imagine by nite!
RR
In case you or others missed it, the BBC coverage is on Utube now. Perhaps we’ll eventually be able to see some of the trial coverage (unless they mention Kerry, that is)
