Since he is of no use anymore, there is no gain if he lives and no loss if he dies.

Whoever wishes to blame or attack me is entitled to do so. I regret I didn't have enough experience to totally control the movement. On the other hand, with our constant struggle, this had to be done together with others in the communist world to stop Kampuchea becoming Vietnamese.

The Vietnamese... wanted to assassinate me because they knew without me they could easily swallow up Cambodia.

No gain in keeping, no loss in weeding out.

There's what we did wrong and what we did right. The mistake is that we did some things against the people - by us and also by the enemy - but the other side, as I told you, is that without our struggle there would be no Cambodia right now.

The sick are victims of their own imagination.

I'm quite satisfied on one thing: If we had not carried out our struggle, Cambodia would have become another Kampuchea Krom in 1975.
