In their 1993 study, modeling “the highest mortality [they] can justify,” Judith Banister and Paige Johnson estimated 275,000 deaths during the 1970-1975 period. Marek Sliwinski carried out a demographic study where he arrives at an estimate of 240,000 war deaths out of which there were 40,000 deaths as a result of American bombings. As Pol Pot’s biographer David Chandler points out, the bombing campaign “had the effect the Americans wanted: it broke the Communist encirclement of Phnom Penh."

@irishgeal1

you have absolutely no idea... poor you. For the next year I wish you can have your chromosomes fixed.

And this comes from a left wing person working and living in Vietnam.

I wonder why the USA didn't invade Cambodia in 1976 after the Khmer Rouge Seized American Ships.

pop quiz

who provided the khmer rouge with there base of operation

who in 1965 invaded cambodia and violated its neutrality by using it to transport 80% of its military equipment drawing the us in

who refused to leave the country before the us bombing instead waged war against the cambodian army doing more damage then the khmer rebel and then handed most of the country over to them

who supplied the khmer rouge with virtually all there weapons and supplies and most of there training

[ImATiger4487]

from a cambodian standpoint:

the khmer rouges had led their base of operations 'underground', they had acquired their base of operations from defeating government troops with north vietnamese backing starting in 1970-1975 war

. the north vietnamese refused to leave the country in which lon nol ordered them a 2 day ultimatum to withdraw or face hostilities. the khmer rouge did not hand them the country, they lost it in the vietnamese invasion of 1979

china supplied the khmer rouge

war business in progress. mobilizing the entire fleet for war is america's greatest business. america will not survived by selling grains to china or selling computers to other country. congress will always fund any military war project because of good return on investment. casualties of war is the job of the UN and gov't agencies just to relax people. then plan the next war project somewhere.

[ImATiger4487]

i have heard about this, quite disturbing. business ventures

[rushnout]

Our government has reached an all time low.

The atrocities our country has committed to maintain control, to dominate and intimidate by covertly de-stabilizing countries, will one day come back on us with a vengeance.

It is time to stop the machine!

No, I'd say

it's way past time for some entity to step

up and stop the war mongers!!!

5 stars does this short video earn!

What happened to this British journalist John Pilger? Is he still active, dead or retired? Can we see the 2nd part, seems as if it is missing.

[dharmamarx]

Part 2 is on this site; just search for this: "Bombing Cambodia - Nixon, Kissinger, and the Khmer Rouge - 2". Pilger's still around. I think he has a new film coming out; there was an interview w/ him a few days ago on Democracy Now.

[UlucReis]

Many thanx, Dharma! Saw it now.
