Sir, - The international community's response to the death of Pol Pot is staggering. Major nations suddenly want Pol Pot's fellow murderers hunted down and brought before the courts. How noble.
Nobody needs reminding that the massacre of the Cambodian nation by the bloodthirsty Khmer Rouge took place in the 19751978 period. Yet now, fully 20 years later, the international community has finally decided that somebody should be held responsible for the deaths of two million people. - Yours, etc.,
