"It’s a very un usual political environment, but I’m just not going to let the politics get in my way,” he said.

King Norodom Sihanouk, at various times Pol Pot’s ally or adversary, compared him to Stalin — but also said he had a certain charisma that made him “very charming.” His Khmer Rouge regime, however, was one of the most brutal the 20th century has witnessed. As many as 2 mil lion Cambodians died, some in grisly city torture centers, others in the countryside with a blow to the back of the head with a hoe. Many died of starvation, overwork and illness during Khmer Rouge attempts to force a Maoist-style collec tivization of agriculture. The man known to his comrades as Brother Number One died Wednesday, two days short of the 23rd anniver sary of the day his army captured Phnom Penh and began a reign of terror. The last time Pol Pot was seen alive by outsiders — in several interviews last year — he was an enfeebled old man who almost looked kindly. “Our movement made mistakes,” he told American journalist Nate Thayer, the first to interview him in 18 years. “I came to carry out the struggle, not to kill people. Even now, and you can look at me: Am I a savage person? My conscience is clear." The best estimates are that one in five Cambodians of a population of 7.9 million died when the Khmer Rouge were in power from 1975-79.
