LETTERS, Page 8Weary of War
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.
