Lest We Forget

How best does a nation mark its sad past?

Anzac Day is a day to commemorate when the Australian and New Zealand troops landed in Gallipoli. January 16 was a national day of mourning and reflection for tsunami victims. And today, Cambodia marks its annual "Day of Anger".

Cambodia's Cabinet ministers observed a moment of silence Friday as the country marked an annual "Day of Anger" to remember victims of the Khmer Rouge "killing fields."

Prime Minister Hun Sen and his ministers rose to their feet, with the Cambodian leader saying, "Never will our compatriots, who unjustly died under Pol Pot's regime, be forgotten."
