love it that he didnt beat around the bush.. anyone with decent intellect can connect the dots and understand this. most other people try to sugar coat it for whatever reason.

It's always been about resources/control/money. All wars/invasions.

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.
