It seems that part of the world is a seething cauldron, pardon the lurid cliche. washingtonpost.com I'm rooting for the royalists.

Maybe you are right, although it was not until our withdrawal that the whole region went under. Since there was never a serious attempt on Thailand, I do not know why one would be confident about how it would have fared. Since Vietnam did have regional ambitions (no one believes that the invasion of Cambodia was purely humanitarian, even if they were preferable to Pol Pot), it is entirely plausible that the failure to challenge Thailand was a result of exhaustion and reconstruction. Did we back the wrong horse? I used to think so, until the Communists actually took power, and the re-education camps were constructed, and the boat people fled. One can argue that we should have stood aside, but we did not back the wrong horse.......
