Nixon is not my idol. But the establishment of relations with China was a brilliant move. Also, frankly, as long as we were in a war, I think it reasonable to try to close down the Ho Chi Minh Trail, which was a sanctuary and source of massive logistical support for the North Vietnamese and Viet Cong. North Vietnam dragged Laos and Cambodia into the war, by opening the Trail and sponsoring insurgencies. I think it is insane to blame Nixon for Pol Pot........

"and it took Nixon to exploit the rift for our strategic gain. Really... "There are no American combat troops in Cambodia. There are no American combat advisers in Cambodia. There will be no American combat troops or advisers in Cambodia. We will aid Cambodia. Cambodia is the Nixon doctrine in its purest form...." - President Richard M. Nixon, November 1971" He's talking about Nixon opening up China. Detente. CHINA, not Cambodia. Are you geographically challenged as well? Derek
