I'm a bit disgusted with the usual liberal retort about Vietnam. Do you guys recall how many innocents were killed after we left?

No how many? How many innocents were killed during the bombings of Hanoi?

I do know that it took the Vietnamese Army to stop Pol Pot's genocide in Cambodia.

So, your assertion is that no one died in South Vietnam after we left? Do some research into the Hmong people, and then go ask the remnants of them around Fayetteville, NC, what happened when the NVA arrived.

So, the Viets stopped Pol Pot so that excuses what they did to thousands upon thousands in South Vietnam. Is there some form of "goodwill" fund that excuses bad acts? Perhaps we could tabulate the good things that the US has done to satisfy the account with the critics of the administration.

That is why President George W. Bush is a war criminal. As a direct consquence of his criminal actions hundreds of thousands of people have died and unknown thousands more will die. Bring him to justice.

No, I was just asking how innocents were killed after we left. I know they persecuted the Hmong, I wasn't aware there was a genocide of Hmong. From what I recall the Hmong were detested by the Vietnamese on both sides and were just tolerated by the South Vietnamese Gov because they fought against the North Vietnamese and were allied with the US.

They did what no other country was willing to do, that's all I'm saying.
