And it wasn't a vacuum which allowed the killing fields to develop. It was a communist victory in Indochina. LOL! In reality, a Communist victory in Vietnam did not lead to killing fields. In Cambodia, it did. It certainly did not help that we left a power vaccuum in Cambodia, in an utterly devastated society. And internal documents have shown that we knew our actions were leading to the rise of a very brutal regime. A logical conclusion would be that we desired this outcome, so that people like you could point to the brutality as a justification of our crimes. By the way, after the killing fields became known to the world, the U.S. then provided crucial support to keep Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge going. Tom
