I went back to Cambodia in 1996. I remember getting into a cyclo and seeing that the driver was my age. There he was, pulling me, using all his strength. If it weren't for the grace of God, I would have been the one pulling him. What this all makes me feel is that some people haven't taken advantage of the opportunities of America.
Some people destroy themselves while their counterparts in Cambodia are suffering.
We can all learn from the lessons of history. It is better to learn so that we don't repeat it. What happened in Cambodia can still happen elsewhere. For four years, the Khmer Rouge was in power and no one did anything. It is up to us to fight the injustices in the world.
