Justice At Last

Although it is quite rare to see powerful dictators actually put on trial after their regime loses power of whatever region they were oppressing, it does happen occasionally and Monday Cambodia received the justice it's been hoping for since the late 1970s when the brutal regime of the Khmer Rouge brutalized its' citizens. On Monday Leng Sary, the brother in law of famed dictator Pol Pot and his wife were arrested and delivered to a special tribunal of Cambodian and foreign judges initiated to punnish former Khmer Rouge members for the atrocities they commited against the Cambodian people. Although it's taken years to finally happen, it's never too late for justice and responsibility.
