Forbes magazine once described it as “a skillfully managed business” with full command of “the tools of direct mail and image manipulation -- and tactics that would bring instant condemnation if practiced by a for-profit corporation.” [http://www.activistcash.com/organization_overview.cfm/oid/131]<br /> Environmental groups like Greenpeace have boasted that they have blocked more than 200 hydroelectric projects in the developing world over the past two decades.<br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.greenpeace.org The Greenpeace International homepage]<br /> *[http://www.attacreport.com/ar_terror/tframe.php?region=namerica&amp;group=gp ATTAC Report]<br /> <br /> <br /> [[category:liberal activists]]</div>

<p>Scow: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Pol Pot''' (1926?-1998) was the ruthless [[Cambodia]]n [[communism|communist]] [[dictator]] responsible for killing 1-3 million Cambodians in the late 1970s (nearly a third of the Cambodian population). Anyone thought to be intellectual was murdered, including the killing of people simply for knowing a foreign language or even merely wearing glasses. Pol Pot held power through a combination of enormous charm and complete ruthlessness.<br /> <br /> When Pol Pot took over Cambodia in 1975, he abolished private property, money and religion and converted everything back to an agricultural society. He emptied the cities. His [[Khmer Rouge]] government fell in 1979 when [[Vietnam]] invaded Cambodia after a series of violent border confrontations, and Pol Pot fled to the northern jungle with his forces.<br /> <br /> An Oscar-winning film about his dictatorship, ''[[The Killing Fields]]'' brought a wider knowledge of his atrocities, but only years after they had taken place. The United States and other Asian nations were blamed for once supporting him in order to counter Vietnam next door.<br /> <br /> There was a bloody power struggle within the Khmer Rouge in 1997. Pol Pot was then arrested by his former supporters in July 1997. They charged him with [[treason]] but a &quot;people's tribunal&quot; merely sentenced him to house arrest for life.<br /> <br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Pot, Pol}}<br /> [[Category:Heads of state]]<br /> [[Category:Communists]]<br /> [[Category:Mass murderers]]<br /> [[Category:Dictators]]</div>
