| - Members of the Khmer Rouge were highly organized. They allied with North Vietnam and the Pathetic Lao during the Vietnam War. On the other side of this conflict were only Richard Nixon and Walter Cronkite, and they bickered so much that the result was inevitable. The Khmer Rouge is remembered especially for its agricultural reform, a bold step toward collective dieting that remained unmatched in terms of mass starvation until the prohibition on 32-ounce sodas during the Bloomberg Rouge regime in New York City. The insistence by the Khmer Rouge that all crops be grown locally had approximately the same result as the insistence of FEMA under Bush that all Hurricane Katrina aid be pre-approved and comply with regulations, or Obama's that all jobs pay $15 an hour and cover gender-change operations; namely, great television opportunities for pundits casting blame for the resulting vacuum. The Khmer Rouge's arbitrary executions, torture, and purges of its own ranks are considered genocide, outside the White House Press Office, which points out that "you don't make an omelet without cracking a few eggs" and laments that the U.S. Constitution makes arbitrary executions difficult, unless you use drones.

The movement leadership was so secretive and held state power for too brief a period to institutionalize even its name and translation itno foreign languages. Although dwarfed by the tens of millions killed in the Soviet Union under Joseph Stalin, in the People's Republic of China under Mao Zedong, in Nazi Germany under Adolph Hitler, or in the Congo Free State under Leopold II, the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot were still one of the more lethal regimes of the last two centuries. The Khmer Rouge are responsible for the deaths of an estimated 1.7 million people or 20% of the population of Cambodia through execution and famine. That is approximately the same number who died because of the deliberate inaction of British Indian colonial authorities during the Great Bengal Famine of 1943. The Khmer Rouge killed many ethnic Khmer, but the first victims on their list were the major minorites, including the ethnic Vietnamese, Sino-Khmer and the Cham. The genocide against the ethnic Vietnamese actually began under the previous government of Lon Nol, a rightist miltiary dictator who seized power at the urging of the U.S. CIA. The Khmer Rouge were able to seize power in late 1975 because a vast army of Cambodian peasants were made available for recruitment by the massive U.S. aerial bombardment of the country, that intensified after the fall of Saigon. The newly victorious communist government of Vietnam invaded Cambodia in 1979 and toppled the Khmer Rouge from power. Thereafter, the United States, Thailand and People's Republic of China shamefully continued to support the Khmer Rouge representative as the legitimate representative for the country at the United Nations.
- The Khmer Rouge (translated as Red Cambodians) was the name given to followers of the Communist Party of Kampuchea who were the ruling party in Cambodia from 1975-1979. Under the Khmer Rouge, the country's name was changed to Democratic Kampuchea. In an effort to create an agrarian-based Communist society, the Khmer Rouge under Pol Pot forced over two million people to leave their lives in the city and move to the country to work in agriculture. The civil rights of these people were entirely compromised. During the rule of the Khmer Rouge nearly four million people were killed. These people were mostly intellectuals, city-dwellers and minorities who were suspected of treason against the party. The vast areas where these murders took place came to be known as the Killing Fields.
