I think that you get into trouble when you say that the Khmer Rouge was a
greater evil than imperialism.  That is simply not a tenable position, nor
is it what you mean, I hope.  I hope you mean that, in this case, Vietnamese
imperialism, or national interest, or whatever state motives were operating,
was the lesser evil than the KR and its activities.  Saying that the KR
surpassed, in its evilness, the entire history of imperialism seems a bit
silly, and I think that Mr. Abdo jumped on you to score a few easy points.
