re: #41 HappyWarrior

I dunno. Most of Mao’s victims were domestic. It’s a fair point though. I think the fact that Cambodia’s obscurity plays a role too. I knew a bit of Cambodians growing up. Their parents and grandparents had to have been some tough people

Quite so. It seems like nearly anyone who has heard of Cambodia at all (or could find it on a map with eight guesses and a clue-by-four) has heard of Pol Pot and/or the Khmer Rouge; the same could not be said of Germany, Russia or China.
