Phnom Penh - S21 Tuol Sleng detention center and the killing fields

Want to keep this on the shorter side, but after seeing what remains of the khmer rouge machinery, a few thoughts.

I have serious doubts that until we have, as a species, demonstrated univeral compassion, we will not have significantly transcended a most basic animal nature. We will simply remain as upright, more mechanized beasts, again and again acting out the dance of the sheep and the wolf. More appropriately perhaps, like dogs tearing each other apart.

One more - if we fail to support ONLY governments of legitimacy and tolerance, I can think of no reason why this same scenario should not continue to play out. But where next?
