Read the section on Chomsky. I have no desire to engage with someone who does not acknowledge what Chomsky himself admitted. It is the equivalent of saying that Jews were lying about the Holocaust because the allies happened to be the ones who liberated them

I read this and Chomsky says what I said - the civilian deaths due to the US ground invasion and carpet bombing are ignored.

Also, as I said, the US began arming the Khmer Rouge in 1979, and began openly arming them in the 1980s. So if the Khmer Rouge had committed a genocide, then that's who the US was arming to put back in power.
