When I was a lad, I remember reading John Pilger's reports in the Daily Mirror concerning the wholesale slaughter in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge of 2 million Cambodians. In my mind, I can still see the hideous image of human skulls piled high, victims of the massacre.
Pilger still writes on the subject, telling all who will listen that The Khmer Rouge were actively and covertly supported by the UK and the US.
US and UK involvement in Cambodia...
Pilger is a journalist I respect, one of the very few that actually does what a journalist should do. He takes the statements of those in authority and subjects them to investigation. Much of the time, he finds that what our so-called leaders tell us is lies.
Please make time to watch his recently released film, "The War You Don't See". The trailer is below. Please prepare to be shocked, saddened, ashamed and angry at what you see. Then, like I plan to do, go and see your MP and demand that he puts all his efforts into stopping the illegal wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.
