HOW many more atrocities will the Khmer Rouge be allowed to perpetrate against naturalised Vietnamese and United Nations officials in Cambodia before the UN is empowered to take action? The UN has effectively entertained the tyrannical Khmer Rouge leadership since the 1992 Paris Peace accord and has increased their power with or without the effect of the sanctions imposed on them.
When will the world wake up to the fact that the present form of UN government in Cambodia is making the Khmer Rouge more powerful at the expense of the other parties? We either have to take some form of serious action or be prepared to wash the blood off the UN Transitional Authority in Cambodia's hands for allowing another Year Zero to take place.
