"Indochina without Americans: for most, a better life."

"These people don't value human life like we do."

"Kill a gook for God!"

[DPB101]

Democrats in Congress sure got a lot of "gooks", as you call them, killed when they cut off funding. At least two million. Maybe three. We'll never know for sure.

"The growing hysteria of the administration's posture on Cambodia, seems to me to reflect a determined refusal to consider what the fall of the existing government in Phnom Penh would actually mean.... We should be able to see that the kind of government which would succeed Lon Nol's forces would most likely be a government ... run by some of the best-educated, most able intellectuals in Cambodia."---Senator George McGovern

"The greatest gift our country can give to the Cambodian people is peace, not guns. And the best way to accomplish that goal is by ending military aid now."--Chris Dodd (D-CT)

I give Senator McGovern credit however. When he learned of what the Khymer Rouge were doing, he wanted to send American troops back in. That took some guts even to suggest back then.
