Sometime I don't even understand what this Khmer Rouge or Khmer Vietminh trial is all about! Is it about the killing of Cambodian people? So they said it is a genocide that the Khmer Rouge or the Khmer Vietminh is on trial for. So let go back to basic. Let define what genocide is.

Genocide is systematic killing of a racial or cultural group. http://www.onelook.com/?w=genocide&ls=a

How can this be because the Khmer Rouge or the Khmer Vietminh killed many Cambodian people including Cambodian minorities and foreigners!

If you are talking about killing, there are many foreign leaders who are also responsible for killing Cambodian people too!

North Vietnamese used Cambodia to evade the South Vietnamese and American bombing and Cambodian people were killed in the process!

United States used B-52 to drop ton of bombs on Vietcong sanctuary in Cambodia also help killing Cambodian people in the process!

Thailane allowed US B-52 bombers to launch attack from their air base also help killing Cambodian people!

China supplied those weapons to the Khmer Rouge or the Khmer Vietminh also help killing Cambodian people!

Soviet Union supplied the weapons to the Vietcong which help spread the Vietname War into Cambodia also help killing Cambodian people!

If you really connected all the dots and you will see that Cambodian people are born to be killed!

The only issue now who kill Cambodian people more that constitutes genocide?
