Yet another "US defending democracy" incident. Anyway, it's good people now know what was known long ago about the mosntrocities of that country's governments.

Nah, thats an easy question to answer. If NV could have taken SV without resistance, they would have used their main resources to supress SV and aided Pol Pot figuring they could create a sattelite state under their control.

How is that? Scenario: North Vietnam is about to overrun South, and converting things to communism. South Vietnam kind of against that. They want US to help them, who arrives in time, because they don't want communism to spread. Fighting is going on, and NV starts using other routes for logistics, in Cambodia, in Laos. War spreads and gets more ugly. US is taking it to the routes, because you can't have that going on.. it's not a question of wanting to get innocent people killed, it's warfare, and that's the only way to response to such action. Too bad, but it'll happen. It happens that this thing, bombing and fighting in Cambodia helps Pol Pot, who later on is the main man responsible for Killing Fields. It wasn't what US tried to do. IT wasn't what they wanted. It's what Pol Pot wanted. The true killer was Pol Pot in Cambodia, not the US. US could be taken into debate for using excessive force in Cambodia, resulting to loss of lives and lots of them. But they can't be held responsible for Pol Pot killing people.
But that's just me.

Excuse me?
The U.S. holocaust was the genocide of the native American peoples. It's actually shocking to see threads demonstrate how completely it can be forgotten.

Actually no. As long as Muad'Dib haven't made his present in this thread, the game hasn't started. If not, the thread is just stupid.

The U.S. created the conditions that allowed Pot to come to power, including engineering a coup d'etat against that twit, Sihanook. The invasion and bombings and coup created a groundswell of support for the KR, and the bomgins also resulted in the loss of a massive amount of farmland (both from the bombs themselves and driving peasants off the land). Hence, the conditions were created for a massive famine, which is what occured. Pol Pot and the U.S. take equal blame for the Killing Fields.
What is worse, however, is that once the world knew what occured in Cambodia, after the Vietnamese drove them from power, the U.S. decided to give support to the KR.
