Pol Pot, The Worst Person to Ever Walk the Earth

When you think of the worst person to ever walk the Earth, you might think Adolf Hitler, or Genghis Khan; however I believe the worst person to ever walk this planet is Pol Pot. He killed many of his own kind because they knew how to read, or even wore glasses. Besides that, the Khmer Rouge, the organization Pol Pot was leader of, decreased half of the Vietnamese population during the Vietnam War. Right before his death he was still a nasty man. He had killed millions so he could go back to a simpler way of life. This essay will explain why Pol Pot is the worst person to ever walk the face of this planet. Pol Pot claimed he wanted to go back to the old ways of life in Cambodia, which meant …show more content…

Pol Pot didn’t. Right before Pol Pot died he was interviewed because the Khmer Rouge put him under house arrest( Cambodia). He was asked if he felt sorry for killing all the people he did, but he simply didn’t answer(Cambodia). He just walked away with no guilt eating him up whatsoever(Cambodia). Maybe he would have felt guilty if he spent time in prison, but he died without ever being brought to justice(Cambodia). How is it possible that a genocidal killer lived his life without ever being brought to justice? He died a genocidal killer with no remorse for the millions he killed.
This information all helps to prove that Pol Pot was the worst person to ever walk the face of the earth. That title should be given to a person who killed his own people for knowing how to read, or somebody who decreased half of a country’s population. Not to mention he didn’t even feel bad about it, he pretty much just walked away. It would probably be perfectly peaceful in Vietnam if it weren’t for Pol Pot. He just came in and started a holocaust because he wanted things to go back to the way they used to be. This information all helps to prove Pol Pot was the worst person to ever walk the face of the
