- America shares with Viet Nam the responsibility for
- destabilizing Cambodia (WORLD, Oct. 9). North Viet Nam used
- Cambodia as a base for subversion against South Viet Nam,
- providing Americans with a pretext for bombing Cambodia. The
- saturation bombings radicalized opposition to the U.S.-backed
- Lon Nol regime and paved the way for the rise of the xenophobic
- Khmer Rouge. Now the U.S. should seek expulsion of the Khmer
- Rouge from the U.N. and declare Prince Norodom Sihanouk the sole
- leader of Cambodia. Viet Nam should ask its surrogates to step
- down and accept the leadership of Sihanouk. The Khmer Rouge
- leaders ought to be tried by an international tribunal for mass
- murder of innocent people.
