William Goodfellow [Director of the Center for International Studies], "Starvation In Cambodia," Op-Ed, New York Times, July 14, 1975, p. 25.

"...... Followed by five years of death, suffering and destruction, with 600,000 Cambodians on both sides killed. Primarily because of a large-scale
United States bombing campaign in which 539,129tons of bombs were dropped on the Cambodian countryside, the agrarian economy was shattered. . . ."

Forget the garnishment....the sound bite he wanted to plant and resonate was: We murdered 600,000 thousand Cambodians by destroying
their farms and crops. America is starving the Cambodians to death.
America is committing genocide, just like they did to their Native Americans when they shot all those buffalo. Americans rank right up there with the
top "scorched earth" practitioners in history, Attila, Adolf Hitler....you get the idea.

Never mind that we feed what? Half the world? and most of it is for free.

I'd love to know where Bill and Dana went on their honeymoon and where she was registered for gifts.

He's a POS. He backed communist Vietnam.

So, according to this Goodfellow character, Pol Pot moved the population out of the cities because they were starving.

He moved them into the countryside, whose agrarian economy had been shattered.

Illogical
