you left out that pol pot killing cambodians is enabled by team usa which had tee-ed up cambodian institutions to be destroyed And you left out the FACT that Cambodia was ALREADY a basketcase, overrun with Soviet backed Vietnamese forces. Pol Pot was China's answer to thwarting that Soviet influence in SE Asia. From a "Machiavellian" perspective, I completely understand why they propped him up (and why Pol Pot adopted the Chinese inspired Maoist ideology that DIRECTLY LED to "Agrarian Reform" and the Killing Fields where millions died). Hell, Brzezinski was the ULTIMATE Machiavellian, and he confessed in 1981 that he was in favor of China's support for Pol Pot, knowing that the US could never support such an abomination, but China could. historycommons.org I think Brzezinski owes the Cambodian people the same apology that the Bejing government does. But Bejing has more of an onus because it was their Maoist ideology that inspired Pol Pot to commit the same atrocities that Mao committed in the Cultural Revolution. If you can't criticize China, what gives you the right to criticize the US? We have no lack of self-criticism in the US. But if your indifference represents a reflection of Chinese culture, it's bordering on Socio-Pathic, or at least amoral.. And that's why the Bejing government cannot be trusted by the west. A nation without a conscience will never truly be great. Hawk
