A tiny handful of leftists did criticize the Khmer Rouge before 1978 December, and got called fascists, nazis, and admirers of Adolf Hitler.
But no one academic in the entire western world, not a single one, risked his tenure by criticizing the Khmer Rouge until authorized to do so in December 1978.
I'm waiting to see if someone tries to contradict you!
LoL ! My mother was an academic in '78 and she criticised the Khmer Rouge all the time. She was basically a leftist gone liberal. We had a cat - felix who would kill litterally hundreds of moles, mice and ground squirrels. His nickname was "Pol Pot". I guess Jim does not hail from academia. Of all the professors i have known i actually can't think of any of them that supported the Khmer Rouge and i can't think of any that would have hesitated to criticize them. After all they did massacre intellectuals - so it was a bit personal. - --- Marina
