:: "I also believe that your article is a whitewash relying on official communist propaganda statistics, and that higher estimates of 30,000-60,000 killed are supported by reliable academic sources and not debunked by said communist propaganda." Well, at least the "propaganda" that the new article cites actually exists! In a previous exchange, you called the Cambodian genocide a fabrication by "communist scholars". And this was in reference to scholarship that documents Khmer Rouge atrocities, but does not meet your stringent ideological criteria. Look, there is no use denying that you have tendency to engage in red-baiting, which you often push to absurd extremes, as a way of dismissing valid sources and points of view that rub you the wrong way. Once you veer in that direction, you shut off any possibility of constructive dialogue based on the the evidence. Gucci@
