You are kidding right? Very few people were killed in Vietnam, after we left. The Cambodian genocide, proceeded quite independently from Vietnam, and would have been in no way affected by our staying or not staying in Vietnam, though it was yet another side effect of our Vietnam intervention. The genocide was going at full speed while we were in Vietnam, and we were not lifting a finger to stop it. Interestingly, Cambodia was ultimately saved from the Khmer Rouge by a Vietnamese intervention. I wonder how many tragic side effects are still lurking in the future from the Iraq disaster -- by far, our greatest strategic blunder.
