Thats a great article. Noonan writes:

"What Mr. Felt helped produce was a weakened president who was a serious president at a serious time. Nixon's ruin led to a cascade of catastrophic events--the crude and humiliating abandonment of Vietnam and the Vietnamese, the rise of a monster named Pol Pot, and millions--millions--killed in his genocide."

I am interested in the narrow statement above. How different would vietnam and cambodia have been if nixon wasnt brought down? Obviously there would be differences and Ford the caretaker couldnt do as much as nixon who was not tarred by watergate. I just dont know how cons like peggy, patty, benny etc make this leap that somehow vietnam wouldnt have been lost and that pol pot would have been stopped. Anyone want to take a shot at this question???
