I'm currently writing a paper on 'intent' and Angkar. I understand you were a child, but to the best of your memory, how much of your experience was 'war', and how much was it state-sanctioned oppression? How much control do you think your oppressors had, or do you think they were also confused, removed from reality, afraid for their own lives, swept away by political fanaticism? During those 4 years, how often did it feel like 'real life', or was it like a dream?
