The Khmer Rouge was allied with the North Vietnamese. We never worked with the Khmer Rouge.
That's not really true.
China was a bigger supporter of the Khmer Rouge and remember it was the Vietnamese who eventually took them out.
Once the Vietnamese invaded (supported by the Soviet Union), China launched an invasion of North Vietnam, China the USA and a few others supported the Cambodian government in exile which did include the Khmer Rouge.
I know you only like rosy tinted visions of the past, but the fact of the matter is for better or worst, the US has supported some pretty grizzly characters.
