Please verify if the figure 600,000 deaths of innocent Cambodian as the results of the NVN/VC troops, Pathet Lao (NVN troops) under FUNK label killings from 1970-1975 ? We have documents to support this figure. The issue here is related to Angkor period , not the Vietnam war. --- On Thu, 10/9/08, Ông-thu N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: Ông-thu N <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: CAMBODIA : the Angkor period & causes of decline To: [email protected] Date: Thursday, October 9, 2008, 6:57 AM Everyone tries to ignore the fact that American did kill more than 600000 Khmers in 1969. I don't understand why? ================================= In 1969, President Richard Nixon and his National Security Advisor, Henry A.. Kissinger, unleashed B-52 carpet bombing for over fourteen months against a people who still tilled the soil with water buffalo.... The 3,500 bombing sorties resulted in 600,000 deaths. The American bombing of Cambodia was a closely guarded secret primarily because the U.S. was not at war with Cambodia. --- On Wed, 10/8/08, sacravatoons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: From: sacravatoons <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: CAMBODIA : the Angkor period & causes of decline To: [email protected] Date: Wednesday, October 8, 2008, 10:35 AM Hi Ek Udom Kangarooo, Everyone does ! It's not OK to kill anyone.It's a Crime against Humanity !!!! Hitler had killed Jews from their Extremist-German..... In Cambodia without Yuon-Hanoi & Chen Peking ,Khmer Rouge were just a bunch of leftist group with a few guns. And we had known guys like Heng Samrin or Chea Sim would be cattle-smugglers at the border Khmer-Yuon until they died Scambia never be an Independence state as long as Yuon-Hanoi is there. So by your theory after Khmer Rouge killed his own people 2.5 million lives....It's OK for Yuon-Hanoi & Hun Xen had a plot,K5 operation, to kill Khmer innocents of 250,000 lives ?( according to Pen Sovann witnessed ). Could you, enlight more the operation K5, the crime against Humanity in Cambodia under Yuon-Hanoi ruling ? Thanks.
