Seems the ‘Western world’ has a history of ignoring active genocide. The Jewish genocide was largely ignored during WWII, even while bombers were in the air, and ‘boots were on the ground’.
Whatever happened to the Hmong? I remember the stories of the women having “hysterical” blindness because of the atrocities they had witnessed.
I still can see the images of the Cambodian cities being emptied of people as they were forced into the countryside. Those images never fade.
The French have a lot of blood on their hands. Simone Signoret herself held endless salons filled with American actors (Jane Fonda & the beautiful Jean Seberg for example) encouraging them to visit North Viet Nam and take up with the Old Black Panthers. It destroyed Seberg and turned Fonda into one of the most hated women in America.
Khomeini also lived in France defining his anti-Americanism. Of course, it really wasn’t Americans who paid - it was the citizens of Iran.

A long time ago in another life I had a friend who escaped Cambodia. 22 of his family left their village and tried to walk to the Viet Namese border.
3 of them made it. 2 more died in a refugee camp in Nam.
The stories that guy told were awful, just awful.
Oh, there was no question to be answered. But your points are well stated and taken.
Um, I don’t presume to know God’s mind or the fate of these souls, but my hunch is that Kerry will end up at the furthest place in the universe from most of those millions of pour souls. Forever.
And if I were a better Christian, I’d grieve for his soul...
