I am merely disputing your bullshit claims. How do you write something like this without even fact checking? "Millions of South Vietnamese were slaughtered under communist rule".

I have no warm feelings towards the regime, like I said my grandfather spent years in a re-education camp. His time was there was not pleasant.

Of course they had self-serving reasons to liberate Cambodia of the Khmer Rouge - who wants a crazy regime next to their country who commits genocide on millions of their own people (hundreds of thousands of ethnic Vietnamese included)? Not only that, they were attacking numerous southern Vietnamese villages without provocation.

Yet it was the Vietnamese - and they alone - who drove Pol Pot's regime out of Cambodia and put an end to genocide.

Furthermore, Vietnamese troops have been the only effective obstacle to the Khmer Rouge's return. Meanwhile, our Government consistently pushed in the opposite direction, demanding that the Vietnamese withdraw and paying for the coalition in which the Khmer Rouge is the dominant partner.
There are numerous reports of the CIA supporting the Khmer Rouge even though they were well aware of the genocide occurring.

In late 1975, former National Security Advisor and United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told the Thai foreign minister: "You should tell the Cambodians that we will be friends with them. They are murderous thugs but we won't let that stand in our way.
Anyways, I'm sure you'll continue grasping at straws. I won't reply regarding this topic anymore as it has nothing to do with this thread.
