Alan Parkhouse, Asia Times: The day the nightmare started
When the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia, photographer Roland Neveu captured the start of what became a genocide.
Forty-four years ago – on April 17, 1975 – a nightmare started for Cambodia and its entire population. On that day, after a brief battle on the outskirts of the city, Khmer Rouge fighters marched into the capital Phnom Penh and took control of the country.
The radical communist movement led by Pol Pol controlled the Southeast Asian nation until 1979, but in that brief period, a quarter of the population perished, with estimates of the dead ranging between 1.7 million and 3 million.

Asian ISIS.
China is doing something very similar right now under Xi Jinping.
The nightmare began earlier, with Nixon and Kissinger's dropping of millions of tons of bombs on Cambodia from 1970-1973.
And I have to add: RussinSoCal is being brainwashed by irrational propaganda.
Another communist success story. They killed 2 million out of 5 million citizens.
They murdered 21% or more of the country. It takes a ordinary kind of liberal do such things.
They killed all ethnic minorities. Democrat voters, who are ethnic minorities and who play at identity politics and instersectionality might want to rethink their support of the fascists thugs iof the Democrat party.

"The nightmare began earlier"
Correct the nightmare began when the North Vietnamese invaded Cambodia.
The nightmare began when the North Vietnamese armed the Khmer Rouge.
The nighmare began in the parlors of Paris decades earlier than 1960, when Pol Pot sat on the knees of effete Fremnch communists and learned how to avoid a real educaiton by learning the Marxist dialioectic in a manner simialr to the way many people learn the Koran.

I hope dear Carl does not wear glasses. The communists executed everyone, who wore glasses.
Their reasoniong is that they were likely educated and might be able to oppose the communists. I am sure that reasoning was influenced by American fighting the North Vietnames invaders in easter Cambodia.
Put down the Cracker Jacks box, Carl.
Pro tip: If the communists take over your country, remember to wear contaacts and not glasses.
Only leadership and apparatchicks can wear glasses in the early hphases of the revolution or at all. And some animals are more equal than other animals.
Peel back the skin of an progressive leftist and I'll show you Pol Pot every tome.
When Truman was around there were Blue dog Democrats that were astrong on defense. No longer.
Obama is very much a progressive. Obama weaponized the IRS. remember Lois Learner?
Obama weaponized the BATF. He ran guns to Mexican Cartels hoping that they would come back across the order due to his loosy, goosey border controls.
A true demogogue, dishonest liberal whill whine that GWB had a gun running operaiton. During the Bush admin, they actually put tracers in the gun to track them and try to arrst the gun runners and cartel members. The cartel found out about the tracers and so the operaiton was stopped.
Obama (I don't learn from 20/20 hindsight) did the same ooperation without any sort of tracing. Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting different results.
Obam wanted the guns to come back across the border and be involved in amass shooting so that he could get rid of the 2nd amendment. Never let a crisis go to waste - Rahm Emmanuel
Especially if you manufactured the crisis yourself. After all you should be well positioned to exploit it.
Obam a didn't care about Brian Terry.

Obama very much is Pol Piot material.
Clinton is mnore of a small time hustler who made it big. He is more concerned with money, sex and power to plot beyond that. He wants the opiower so that he can enjoy himself like a monkey with a harem. His wife however is of the Pol Pot type. Very much so.
Read the book "The Forgotten Man" FDR ws very much a progressive and only WW2 stopped him form screwing things further up. OBecause of WW2 FDR stopped his war on business, capitlism and America.
Shame on you tweety bird.
Many historiasns beleive that FDR lengthened WW2 by a year.
So it is not liked he helped things. He prolonged the bloodshed.
Former Navy Secretary (who was a political appointee) playing at war. He lengthened it and doomed so many Jews to the gas chamber with fiddling operaitons and strategy and in general muddling along.
So count FDR as great and will be able to judger your low IQ for what it is.
Not to worry. Socialism just needed some fine tuning. This time they will get it right.
FDR also interred thousands of Japanese Americans in camps not unlike prisons. Definitely a criminal act.
Something the US actually had to pay reparations for.
So yes. Anon 11:36 got it right. Peel the face off an Alt-Progressive and you’ll find Pol Pot staring rght back at you.
World War 2 magazine had an article this spring about the Republican governor of Colorado came out against the internemnt camps, but fascists FDR got his way.
