Ground Zero & Year Zero

I will be 7 more months plus to go to the 10th Anniversary of the 9-11 attacks on America by the Al Qaeda, but today President Barack Obama to New York City to lay a wreath at the site of the Ground Zero subsequent to the killing of Ubama Bin Laden last Sunday in a 40 minutes raid by the Navy Seals in a compound located in Abbottabad around 20 miles North of the Capital City of Pakistan. All together more than 3000 people dided in the 4 coordinated civilian plane attacks, 3 were successful because they hit their intended target: 2 at the World Trade Center Twin Tower in New York, and one at the Pentagon. One hijacked plane was down from the resistance of the courageous passengers in the fields of Pennsylvania.
    Watching in live TV broadcast on the ceremony at the Ground Zero in New York and at the Pentagon, I was sad to think of the loss of the close to 2 millions Cambodian lives that brought Cambodia back to Year Zero by the Khmer Rouge.
    Now the Al Qada head, UBL, was dead so as the head of the Khmer Rouge, Pol Pot, and their living accomplices still living such as Duch and co. are fighting back at the Court. The process was long and costly and hopefully it will some day soon bring closure to the tragedy that affect many Cambodians. My wife was tortured, raped and killed savagely, making 4 children orphans.
    I wished Kaing Gueck Iev, aka Duch, was arrested in the mid 1960's when a National Police team under my command went to his home in Prek Pra by the Bassac River not far from Chhbar Ampeou, for his arrest. He left home just a few hours before our arrival, alerted by a mole within our organization.
    Congratulations to the Navy Seals and best wishes for future raids to end the Al Qaeda.
