Dith Pran was an heroic human spirit. We were all enriched by his presence.

You are probably too young to remember what actually happened, but you could have watched the movie at least. It was the US that destabilized officially neutral Cambodia to the point that Khmer Rouge could gain a foothold to destroy the country.

The man was hero and will be mourned. His story is an inspiration to all who love freedom and desires to expose the truth.

Dith Pran was a hero the world should honor for his courage. I pray his soul is abiding in heaven this day.

But we are screaming at the top of our voices. Haven't you heard all the anti-war folks? We are against murderous rampages of all sorts.

It is one thing to read about or hear of 2 million deaths. It is quite another to see the depiction of it. The movie of Dith Pran (The Killing Fields) was a moving and emotionally wrenching experience. For him to survive that horror and speak out against it makes him a true American hero.
Ironically the actor who portrayed him in the movie, Haing Ngor (who was a Cambodian doctor) was also robbed close to his apartment; but he was killed during the robbery.
