Added the fact that he died in 2000 with ref. Any takers to provide references for the rest of the article? Paxse 14:46, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
User:Miacek reverted my edit changing his description from that of an "anti-communist resistance leader" to a "Khmer Rouge" leader. He did more than "collaborate" with the Khmer Rouge - according to the Democratic Kampuchea article, Son Sann led the DK/KR 'government' from 1982 to 1992, following Pol Pot's control of the Angka. This made him a leader of the Khmer Rouge. "Anti-communist resistance" is a hallmark of KR propaganda during the time when the KR was soft peddling its 'government' to the USA, which was then furious about its defeat at the hands of North Viet Nam. They described themselves as "anti-communist resistance" to gain Western support, but they had the same goals all along.
Lon Nol, who the Khmer Rouge overthrew, was basically a US puppet, loyal to the USA. He was against Communism, Sihanouk, the Vietnamese, and the Khmer Rouge, but Son Sann did not, at least to my knowledge, take part in the Lon Nol regime. 96.26.213.146 ( talk) 02:31, 3 April 2011 (UTC)
