On the recordOctober 10, 1998
Madam Speaker, the self-styled ``international community'' has displayed an unseemly haste in trying to persuade the pro-democracy parties in Cambodia--which between them soundly defeated the dictator Hun Sen in the recent election, despite the regime's attempt to intimidate voters and to silence the opposition--hey have tried to get them to fold their tents and just slink away into oblivion. But to their credit, the democratic opposition has refused to give up. This is because they know Hun Sen and his government all too well. They know that he is a monster, as the gentleman from Nebraska pointed out a moment ago. He is bloodthirsty. He kills. They know that as a Khmer Rouge commander who split with Pol Pot, he did it not out of some moral principle, but in a factional power struggle. They know that he has killed many of his political opponents, probably by the thousands, and will kill more if he is given the opportunity.
