    Yeah why not just build a nuke and drop it in the middle of the country, I'm sure that would be a bit more constructive!

    Well nukeing the country would have been very unethical, although I wouldn't complain if he somehow got pushed down the stairs and broke his neck.

    It sounds like a failed Communist state, and more of the beginning of a Stalinist state.

    Because one sounds like a communist doesn't make him one, nor do i expect that you actually read the post to which this relates you will notice that pol pot uses opportunity to get power and is not a communist. although he was a mass murderer (3,000,000 people) and his governmental system was shit.
