I think the author's last name in Simpson, and, like his namesake, he gets it all wrong. Cambodia was not plunged into dangerous chaos because the US invaded after Vietnam had violated the Cambodian territory for years (I never understand why the Left never seems to hold the NVA responsible for this, they flatly ignore it again and again; it's very much akin to terrorists firing from hotels and hospitals and when we return fire the Left only blames us and says nothing about the first, and much worse violations that instigated the response.) Cambodia was plunged into chaos by a radical Marxist gang of killers whose ideology antedated the US invasion. This whole stupid "explanation" is a big lie and is peddled from people on the far left like Chomsky and Ramsey Clark to hide their unwillingness to admit what was going on in Cambodia in the first place. When the left finally had to face the mass murder of the Khmer Rouge, they blamed American bombing for driving them insane: complete BS and Simpson is still peddling it. This guy still can't get Vietnam right and it's been 30 years.
