Weekend Edition Sunday, February 22, 2009 · Cambodia took a concrete step this week toward finding justice for the victims of the Khmer Rouge as the first of five former Khmer Rouge leaders was put on trial for crimes against humanity.
As many as 2 million Cambodians were either killed or died from starvation, malnutrition or overwork during the rule of Pol Pot's murderous regime. But until this week, none had been brought to justice. Some Cambodians wonder whether the trials will achieve their goal of both justice and reconciliation.

have you ever thought that perhaps people are ambivalent because they don't understand the importance of having this trial. also, 1 or 2 percent of the people will always feel this way, no matter what the outcome will be! but that shouldn't matter much as the majority of the people are the one that counts in a democracy society, - the rule of the majority that is.
