Yesterday I blogged about a film where "Brother Number Two" - the man responsible for the deaths of two million of his countrymen tries to answer why he did it. It was the worst holocaust of our times. The interviewer eventually reveals that his own family were among those murdered.

All of a sudden, Brother Number Two can no longer hide behind ideology and words. Taken aback, he apologizes.

Most of us seem to respond to such horror by recoiling and looking the other way. People don't know what to do with it. But, even 30 years later, it demands some kind of response. The Cambodian people are putting Brother Number Two on trial. Let me encourage you to respond as well. A couple of specific suggestions.

1. See the movie or

2. A petition of sorts. If you'll put your first name and email address (that will not be seen by the public) in the comment section below, I'll pass it along to the movie makers as a statement of support.

If you've got any better ideas, please share them. I just think we need to do something.
