Pol Pot is maybe the only commie dictator our media ever turned on. I could easily see Hanoi Jane sitting in a Cambodian AAA gun site.

Well in the words of Shelia Jackson Lee, if North Vietnam and South Vietnam found a way to work through their disagreements and happily coexist today, let's just let bygones be bygones.

The scene in the movie where the lead characters find themselves walking across a sea of bodies in a field belies the vicious cruelty visited upon the people by the KR in a very small amount of time. Every city and village was forcibly depopulated and the victims lined up like Jews in WWII to be machine gunned down from behind. Given the countries' population and the numbers killed Pol Pot wins hands down as the worst murderous tyrant of the 20th century.

I really don't know much about Pol Pot except that he was a murderous communist dictator in Cambodia that committed genocide. How many people were he estimated to have murdered?

I don't know if he ever murdered anyone. His Communist regime killed ~2 million.

about two million. "The Killing Fields" is a masterpiece. One of the best endings ever.

I always heard it could be between 2 to 5 million. All intellectuals, anyone who could speak a foreign language, any professionals, teachers, doctors, etc.

I hear a lot about certain dictators killing 2 million (Pot), 6 million(Hitler), 40 million (khan) but no one really stop and thinks about how many a million people is.
1 million people > 10x Tiger Stadium.
Jesus Christ. Can you imagine seeing 1 million people in one group and then being told that this guy is responsible for 10x that many peoples murder? For fricks sake...

my big problem with that list... why is Nixon on it for Vietnam and not LBJ, who is the one who escalated it to a war from just the military advisers who were there to help the French quell the rebellion in their colony.....

Havent seen the entire list but why is Hitler ahead of Stalin?

He was over one half of the countries population in very short order.
