I don't know who Jimmy is... but I don't blame him for going to CPK - they've got a pretty good Thai Chicken Pizza.

You speak of Vietnam, yet you have not a clue who the CPK was. I don’t feel sorry for you, as I can see Democrat written all over you.

What gave me away? Because I don't speak in cryptical acronyms? Or is it the fact that I don't treat mass murder as worthy of a "Whooptydoo" response?

You don’t even know historical happenstances about nam, yet here you have presumptions as to what’s right, and what’s wrong.

There's no right in war, Tom.... it's all just different shades of wrong.

Bull****. Laos was promised protection if they helped us fight japan. So were to Nungs.

I think you may be dealing with an age problem there, I maybe can see not knowing about CPK (Communist Party of Kampuchea) but what is really concerning to me is not knowing President Jimmy Carter or his visit to Cambodia.

The Khmer Rouge were the KCP.

Here is a link to the foreign trips of President Carter:

Oddly enough, no Cambodia trips. Gee, I can't imagine why not.

I think you two need to start getting a better grasp of the facts if you're going to start tangling with me.

Try again tadpole - Carter -

Khmer Rouge was the Communist Party of Kampuchea (CPK), ruling Cambodia between April 17 th, 1975 and 1979, an era of political execution, forced labor and death – around 2 million people.

No messing with you, just education, because you clearly did not have the advantage of living through that era and are resorting to web searches which you seem to not be too adept at. We have our facts quite straight and you might consider backing off a bit on the attitude, you could learn something.

Your article is from 1985 about a visit of former President Carter visiting Cambodian refugees in Thailand.

How is this in any way (1) objectionable or (2) have anything whatsoever to do with Pol Pot's regime?
 
Maybe next time you won’t join a discussion until you know a little bit about it.

Yes they had the misfortune of having a murdering madman as dictator of Cambodia. Dictators of all political persuasions have a nasty habit of being mass murderers. That's why we must oppose all of them at every turn. Since we destabilized the rightful Govt. under Nixon by illegal excursions into Cambodian territory there is no doubt that we share some blame for Pol Pot's crimes. Just another unintended consequence of our misguided and bloody "adventure" in Vietnam. Just like ISIS was the result of the overthrow of Saddam.
