I said in an earlier post that I would post both in French and English. Obviously I failed. So just to make it clear to all US visitors: this website is supportive of the US effort in bringing peace and democracy in the Middle East. I hope that the site banner is not offensive, it is a reminder of what\/who we’re facing: cold blood murderers, blinded by their death cult.<\/p>\n
Why LMAE.net ? (short version, translated from French<\/a>)<\/p>\n The Killing Fields<\/a><\/i> is about friendship between New York Times’s Sidney Schanberg and his Cambodian guide, Dith Pran<\/a>. The movie goes through the horrors of war, the fall and forced evacuation of Pnom Penh by the Khmer Rouge, then the camps. Pran spent 4 years in these camps, before fleeing. A magnificient story, though the true story might be a little bit different<\/a> (I don’t know whether that’s true or not. I guess I prefer to stick with the film’s story).<\/p>\n At the time, Schanberg, just like most of US and Western journalists, was against the US intervention in Vietnam. The movie does a good job demonstrating it, lightly. Some journalists later regreted their words<\/a>. Maybe they should have talked about the mass executions<\/a> in Hue during Tet 68 ? Maybe they could have read and talked about the Khmer Rouge program ? About the mass exodus in 54\/55 from North Vietnam to South Vietnam ? Today the same medias are at it again in Iraq. They show pieces of bodies scattered by a carbomb. They show bloody executions shot by a \u00ab\u00a0passing by\u00a0\u00bb photographer (how lucky!). They will shed tears for destroyed houses in Fallujah… They seem unable to call a terrorist a terrorist. They make their headlines with false statistics<\/a>. They insist on the destructions, but forget about the schools, the sewer systems, the restored pipelines, the hospitals built… They run stories about a few uncontrolled soldiers in one prison as if they were the all American army… Michael Moore can even depict Iraq as a paradise where kids used to fly kites before US bombs put an end to their innocent games…
\nJournalist’s motives were multiple: some were supportive of the Khmer, the Revolution (some European commies were), some were against their own governement (and full of leftist delusions too)… some just could’nt handle the suffering civilians. Do you remember the picture of a naked girl, running away from her bombed village, severly burnt from napalm ?
\nWhatever the motives, the journalists acted like a prosecutor against the US gov. But they did more: they fed the public with false informations: Walter Cronkite<\/a> lied during Tet 68. It was one of the greatest military blunder of the century for Giap. And don’t get me started about someone like Chomsky<\/a>…
\nAnyway, a few years later the boys<\/i> went home. US air support was denied to the SVA and the South fell. Then Cambodia and Laos followed.
\nAnd communists did what they know best: mass jailing, massacre, mass exodus, famine, unroot people, destroy the culture, indoctrinate the children, \u00ab\u00a0re-educate\u00a0\u00bb the parents… Death toll for Cambodia alone: about 2 million people. And the boat people in Vietnam. And an utter economic disaster in Laos.<\/p>\n
\nSome still have no remorse, and put the blame on the US gov, the CIA… yeah, and forget about the Chinese funds and weapons, the Soviet delight…<\/p>\n
\nWho cares about good news ? Oh, yes, bloggers do. Chrenkoff, Captain’s quarters, LGF, Instapundit, Powerline… But no MSM.<\/p>\n
