It is worrying, particularly for a country like Cambodia, to not face up to its past. The TRC in South Africa showed how it could help to come to terms with what happened and I think probably brought the nation together much more strongly than would otherwise be the case. Although I might take slight issue with the holocaust statistic, coincidentally it came up last week in Ben Goldacre's Bad Science column in the Guardian: http://www.badscience.net/2009/04/umm-warning-research-may-challenge-your-assumptions/ Great piece Mark!
