Yep, you've got me. Cambodia was a terrible evil regime and of course will have similar examples in history. However, we have to realise that this not that common. Those regimes in the end are self destructing.

OTOH, we can point to several african countries where civil and ethnic wars are common. Sometimes I believe that the only way to stop the loss of human life is that one side wins the war entirely, and that the politician can't blame the other side for their misery and has to focus on real political and humanterian issues.

In iraq for example we've taken away the power that hold the nation together by hard force. Now the country falls apart. We are fighting that event at a tremendous cost of human life.

Walter,

>>I think there is a movie about this topic, though I never seen it. However, it would have created a new world order. After all jews were killed, I'd expect to see a relatively normal society building up. History is paved with simular examples: The romans, the vikings, the crusades, the habsburg empire, the french revolution, WWI, WII, etc.

>>>The Japanese and the Germans were systematically killing thousands of civilians in the most brutal and criminal ways. At the time the Japanese killed for the fun of it and made it into a game. If they had won WWII, you think the slaughtering of innocent civilians would have stopped any time soon after the war?

>>That is not how war works. Lets take vietnam. Do you really think that more people were killed after the US had lost the war? After war, there is a winner. The winner will create peace. Whether it supresses its citizens is a different matter, but there will be peace.
