No doubt. We destroyed their society, and that laid the groundwork for the Khmer Rouge's rise.

Tom.. you are truly worthy of a Phd in Rivisonist History..

I'm looking forward to reading your history of how the US government was overthrown and replaced by an enlightened Communist proletariat dictatorship...

And maybe afterward you might bestow upon us some highlights from your research related to the history of the 22nd century...

How do you know the Khmer Rouge wouldn't have gained power anyway?

US bombing in Cambodia was aimed at the North Vietnamese who were using Cambodia as a transport route and base of operations. Didn't the presence of all those foreign communist soldiers in Cambodia have a destructive effect on Cambodian society in and of itself? The Khmer Rouge came to power after America threw in the towel in Indochina.
