But the nation of Cambodia as a whole was not subjected to large-scale bombing. The bombing was along the border with South Vietnam, a region that was controlled by North Vietnam and not the Cambodian government. How could that have caused "complete chaos" in the rest of Cambodia?

This is why we as a nation are having such foreign policy problems!!
Listen to yourself!
We only 'bombed the border of another country' ?? What the hell!
How many other nations have to deal with this type of indicretion? If you bomb a country, you are typically at war with them (!)
In our lesson, child-- we were not at war with Cambodia. They did not have their forces at war with us, and we were not at war with Cambodian Army forces.
Yet, the U.S. Army and SVN invaded Cambodia in 1970-1.
