False.  According to many sources, most people who were killed by the
Khmer Rouge fell into these categories:

- intellectuals
- people who knew foreign languages or had dealings with foreigners
- the rich
- "lazy" elements
- "reactionary" elements (most of whom actually were Khmer Rouge members who
  disagreed with Pol Pot policies)

The executions were just to get rid of the "unwanted" elements from blocking
the path to the kind of communism that Pol Pot and his colleagues wanted. 
They were not part of a rite as implied by the rumor you want to discuss.

I don't think that the Chinese government did in fact bless/guide the
executions.  It pretty much did not care.  The deterioration of the
Vietnamese-Cambodian relationship during those years was due in part to
the direct manipulation of the Vietnamese government in the Khmer Rouge
politics.  Vietnam wanted some of the pro-Vietnamese Khmer Rouge leaders
to stay on top.  All of these people eventually were executed or escaped
to Vietnam after the power struggle went in Pol Pot's favor.  The Chinese
government only protested meekly when the Khmer Rouge executed Cambodian
Chinese.  Losing influence over Vietnam, China was interested in having
an allied nation in the Southeast Asia.  Pol Pot was not Chinese puppet,
however.

The Vietnamese government finally had to invade Cambodia because:

- the Khmer Rouge was solidly in the Chinese camp and the
  Chinese-Vietnamese relationship was at a low point.  A two-pronged war
  (Chinese from the north, Cambodia in the southwest) was entirely
  possible.
- the Chinese started sending modern weapons and military advisors to
  Cambodia.
- the normalizing efforts with the USA failed.
- the isolated Khmer Rouge started making headway in convincing the world
  that the Vietnamese were the aggressors.

    SHE'S ALWAYS A WOMAN

          Billy Joel


    She can kill with a smile
    She can wound with her eyes
    She can ruin your faith with her casual lies
    And she only reveals what she wants you to see
    She hides like a child
    But she's always a woman to me

    She can lead you to love
    She can take you or leave you
    She can ask for the truth
    But she'll never believe you
    And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free
    She steals like a thief
    But she's always a woman to me

    Oh - she takes care of herself
    She can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh - and she never gives out
    And she never gives in
    She just changes her mind

    She will promise you more
    Than the garden of Eden
    Then she'll carelessly cut you and laugh while you're bleeding
    But she will bring out the best
    And the worst you can be
    Blame it all on yourself
    Cause she's always a woman to me

    Oh - she takes care of herself
    She can wait if she wants
    She's ahead of her time
    Oh - and she never gives out
    And she never gives in
    She just changes her mind

    She is frequently kind
    And she's suddenly cruel
    She can do as she pleases
    She's nobody's fool
    But she can't be convicted
    She's earned her degree
    And the most she will do
    Is throw shadows at you
    But she's always a woman to me

I found this in Washington Times 10/02/92.

A ghost army of Montagnard mountain people, adamantly Christian and
communist, is fighting a lonely war against what it things are Vietcong.
Some 500 of these gallant fighters are hidden in the deep jungles of
Cambodia and periodically raid into Vietnam.  They have asked the long
dead U Thant to send United Nations aid for war.  They do not know
the war has been over for 17 years.

	Dear netters,

	I find the attached article is confusing. I am not sure what the 
author is trying to say or prove. Also, quoting Plato does not help me 
out either. Do someone care to elaborate ?

	In the last paragraph, the author said:

"Vietname may suffer humility now. However, she will rise! She will 
learn the best of the skill that Western cultures can offer. She will
maintain her poetic culture. She cannot afford the rotten kind of 
democracy of the West. She may have her own form of democracy that
will goes beyond the taste for flesh and bones of the Western facists.
She will not be the play ground of the West similar to what Thailand,
Philippines, South America, etc ... have always been. The regime
in Vietnam may not be the most desirable on Earth now. However they
                                                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^
have the interest of the motherland at heart. The old generations
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
are dying out rapidly. The younger generation will be better. Let's
hope that they will not learn all the illnesses of Western cultures
(the North American culture in particular)."

	How can someone who has the interest of his/her motherland at
heart would go on destroying our people, our culture, our country ?
Look at the education facility in VN today. Look at the homeless children
on the street of VN today. Look at the prison camps in VN today. Or just
simply look at VN today. The most important factor for growth, for a nation,
is education for our children is being ignored in VN. How does one explain
that ? Because our children are not smart ? NO. Because our children are
not worthy ? NO. Because those in power always look after themselves first 
(before the people, before the country) ? Well, you know the answer for 
this one.

	I don't particularly subscribe to the Western culture myself, but
to wouldn't blindly attack it either. Every culture has its flaws and must
be examined carefully. We can adapt what is good and try to ignore the bad 
influences from the Western culture, can't we ? Don't imitate them but also
don't shut the doors on yourselves either. Shutting the doors like the
Nguyen Dysnaty did not help VN, remember...

	Hie^?n

	PS. So, according to Plato, democracy is a nothing to write home
about, or is it ?

I smell this American fascist as a very typical little North American
who understands everything but what beyond his nose. With all the 
illnesses of the so-called Western democracies, North American will
be soon sold out on their American dream. 

A country like Vietnam cannot afford a democracy of the Western style.
Looking what Western companies have done to Thailand, the Philippines,
etc ... The human condition of an average American or Australian or 
French is simply pathetic. This is condition is infinitely better than
what many Westerners plan for third world countries. I have seen
young Australian kids becoming empty-headed. They knows only how
to look for Coca Cola, food and sex. As I beleive that Australia is
still a much better country for kids to grow up in, I have little
doubt that other countries like the US, France, Italy, etc ... are 
much worse. 

Plato has pointed out clearly that democracy has many illnesses. The
major illness is that it is characterised by the wish of the mobs who
do not necessarily know what good for them. Therefore democracy tend
to suffer disunity, selfishness, and waste of resources. Third world
country cannot afford a democracy of Western style. They need to lift
their intellectual ability higher to equal or better than that of the
most advanced Western society before a democracy becomes practical.
Japan did not advance because of Democracy! she advanced because of
nationalism, humility and hatred for the Western arrogance. Germany
did not advance by democracy. She advances by the will to suceed and
the strength of the German hearts and minds.

Vietname may suffer humility now. However, she will rise! She will 
learn the best of the skill that Western cultures can offer. She will
maintain her poetic culture. She cannot afford the rotten kind of 
democracy of the West. She may have her own form of democracy that
will goes beyond the taste for flesh and bones of the Western facists.
She will not be the play ground of the West similar to what Thailand,
Philippines, South America, etc ... have always been. The regime
in Vietnam may not be the most desirable on Earth now. However they
have the interest of the motherland at heart. The old generations
are dying out rapidly. The younger generation will be better. Let's
hope that they will not learn all the illnesses of Western cultures
(the North American culture in particular).

Dear ba.n Hu\ng:

Please remind me to send to you a list of volunteers who have applied
to work for LAVAS but whose background does not meet the requirement
for LAVAS. This does not mean that their qualifications are poor or
that they lack motivation. LAVAS requires a good legal background with
excellent writing skill. Some of the volunteers have excellent experience
in other areas other than law (e.g., social work, community activities...)

I will gather all the names in that category and send to you some time
this week. But please remind me as I have many things to take care of
at the same time and might forget about it.

By the way, a lawyer and a legal assistant of LAVAS have been "reserved"
by Sister Bi\nh (the one that runs the Polytech) to teach courses in
law and refugee law.

Cordially,
Thang.
