Enough is enough!

Someone need to put a chemical bullet in the back of this former Khmer Rouge's head and end his suffering; the guy looks dead anyway. Might as well do him and his family a favor.

please don't forget to ask lots of questions. why did they have to kill cambodians? how come there wasn't any justice system set up to protect people's rights to life, rights to be not be abused by the head village, the angkar, etc. why did they just killing as their policy? on and on and on!!!

why did they want to take cambodia backward? what the benefit of that, turning the nation into a stone age society? what were they thinking? why were there so much hatred? i hope it will serve as a lesson in humanity that that was a society gone wrong. to see that a nation without law is that bad, a society without justice is that bad, a society without any form of free economy is that bad, a society without the justice system set in place to protect its people is that bad. in a way, it will serve as a historical lesson for all of us on this planet, not just cambodia alone. i mean there is no doubt more to this madness!!
