Tribunal ignoring US role in Killing Fields, says leftest Chomsky
Linguist and political philosopher Noam Chomsky speaks to the Post's George McLeod about the 'farcical' shortcomings of Cambodia's war crimes court.Top Khmer Rouge leaders are now in detentionat the war crimes tribunal. Is a UN-backed trial the best way forward, or should it be left to the Cambodian people? I think it should be left to the Cambodian people. I can't imagine a UN international trial. But then, it shouldn't be limited to the Cambodians. After all, an international trial that doesn't take into account Henry Kissinger or the other authors of the American bombing and the support of the KR after they were kicked out of the country . That's just a farce - especially with what we now know about the bombing of Cambodia since the release of the Kissinger-Nixon tapes and the release of declassified documents during the Clinton years. There has been a very different picture of the scale and intensity of the bombing and its genocidal scale. For an international trial to omit this would be scandalous. Radical, leftest Russian Amish, why do they hate America? More at the link if you can stomach it. Posted by: Besoeker 2009-04-01 |
