Wow, the testimony regarding women in Vietnam, faced with the US invaders and their lackeys, is terrifying. Lest we forget.

Chomsky’s book “After the Cataclysm” is a long, tedious attempt to debunk nearly every report of atrocities by the Khmer Rouge. He portrayed the Cambodian genocide as a media hoax. He grudgingly and briefly admitted that there may have been some occasional unjustified violence by the Khmer Rouge, but he dismissed such violence as normal excesses that occur during revolutions.
