I went to the prison but not the Killing Fields site - it was just too much. I imagine it's the same experience as going to Auschwitz - no we haven't learned any lessons from history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274299963162134114.post-91546551326488324192013-02-11T16:32:51.301-08:002013-02-11T16:32:51.301-08:00I perhaps ought to have said "take note, that...I perhaps ought to have said "take note, that this may never happen again" - but of course you're right... such brutality is happening somewhere even as we read this. Perceived slights, differences in faiths, disagreements over property and money, etc. Horror on <i>this</i> scale is, thankfully, not quite as widespread, but as long as there are humans there will probably be other cases of senseless slaughter such as this.<br /><br />It brought tears to my eyes, too.<br /><br />Thank you for commenting.khunbaobaohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15658046085295050474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1274299963162134114.post-51560390395282272562013-02-11T15:43:57.565-08:002013-02-11T15:43:57.565-08:00I went to S21 when I was in Cambodia in 2009, alon...I went to S21 when I was in Cambodia in 2009, along with Choeung Ek. I found it very moving. What I saw brought tears to my eyes. To think that Cambodian's did this to other Cambodians. But worse than that, the world stood by and did nothing until Vietnam intervened and over threw the Khmer Rouge. You used the term 'never again', nice words, nice thought, but it will happen again and again, humans are like that. Look at Syria, the world is standing by again and doing nothing. <br /><br />ChrisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
