I'd say Vietnam was worse then Watergate... who got us out of Vietnam again?

As for bombing Cambodia... why are you blaming Nixon for that...?  The bombing of Cambodia started with Lyndon Johnson in 1965.    You know.  4 Years before Nixon was even President... Nixon was just following Johnson's lead.  You've just given stickball another reason for Johnson to be on the list.

 

As for economic policys... I don't see how you can blame Nixon for the stock market crash.  His Kensyian attempts to fix the problem didn't really help matters... but they were overall not as bad as the above mentioned economic mistakes.

How about debate what I said, instead of making up what I said and then debating that? The bombing of Cambodia and the Cambodian Incursion are NOT the same thing. The Cambodian Incursion is directly responsible for heating up the Cambodian Civil War and arguably led to the Khmer Rouge gaining power, leading to the genocide of 2 million people.

There is nothing to debate.  It was all a continiation of Lyndon Johnson's policy.  He was the one that gathered the information and sent troops cross border in the first place.  His generals suggested the plan that Nixon at first was against.

He was following the path Johnson set out for him.

It's on Johnson more then it is Nixon.
