Only in kampuchea was there true communism. So thought the khmer rouge butchers. Now a few of these monsters will be tried for their evil. Most of them have died peacefully, but will burn for eternity in hell. Justicehas not been swift. It will probably not result in the deserved fate for these butchers, but maybe some of the survivors will get some satisfaction of watching their tormentors on trial. It will also once again expose the evil that is communism.


Decades of war, mass murder, famine, terror and grinding poverty have left a legacy of pain but little justice in Cambodia. But on Tuesday, Cambodians finally witnessed the start of the first-ever trial of a senior Khmer Rouge leader involved in murdering 1.5 million people.

Kaing Guek Eav, 66, known as "Duch" when he supervised the Tuol Sleng torture centre, appeared before a United Nations-assisted court in an old army barracks on the outskirts of Phnom Penh, charged with crimes against humanity in 1975-79.

The former high school math teacher is the first of five Khmer Rouge defendants scheduled to go on trial a full 30 years after their alleged crimes and 13 years after the international community began to press Cambodia to bring the perpetrators of one of history's worst cases of genocide to account.
