These kind of atrocities don't happen because the most vicious and evil people in the world band together with malevolent intent. It would be weird that they are all from the same country. There are lots of reasons that individual Khmer Rouge did what they did, none of them good, but the scared kids who were pressured into violence did things that still hurt them. You might call that bad, I call it tragic, heartbreaking, and a complete failure of foreign policy. Child soldier of Cambodian genocide to speak at college in Randolph | | newjerseyhills.com

I get that bad and good is easier.
