I speak out on genocide not as a nightmare from the past or as a threat for the future. but instead as an accomplished fact of todays world. I speak of Cambodia. For more than 4 years after its takeover by the Khmer Rouge in 1975. we heard almost nothing from this small Asian nation. Our only reports were horrific tales of savagery and murder told by desperate refugees. it was difficult to tell what was actually happening there. Now. we are discovering that the truth is far worse than anyone could have imagined. The Cambodian nation. over these last few short years. has fallen victim to genocide.
