"Comrade Duch" has been sentenced to a mere 19 years in prison for his role in the horrors of the Cambodian killing fields by a U.N.-sponsored tribunal.  Sopheng Cheang reports for AP:

Survivors expressed anger and disbelief that a key player in the genocide that wiped out a quarter of Cambodia's population could one day walk free - despite being convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

"I can't accept this," sobbed Saodi Ouch, 46, shaking so hard she could hardly talk. "My family died ... my older sister, my older brother. I'm the only one left."

It was bad enough that the impotent tribunal was unable from the start to impose the only just punishment for crimes of this magnitude -- death.  Now it turns out to be even weaker than it needed to be.

There will never again be another Nuremberg, where the democratic countries of the world try war crimes and impose a just punishment. When the United States gets its hands on such criminals, we will have to try them alone.  When we do not, they will escape justice.
