It actually took Vietnam to remove the Khmer Rouge from power, the enemy. We just sat and watched as it happened. Sounds alot like Syria. |
Actually, I don't think we were too aware of Khmer Rouge activities when they were going on. I highly doubt the Khmer Rouge would have allowed free rein for Western journalists to document their activities so how could we have known the full scale?
