Kerry's screwups somehow facilitated the Cambodian massacres?
Wow; that is a major screwup!

Kerry's statements and actions are among those which contributed to the chain of events which culminated with the Cambodian Holocaust. I don't say it was his fault, just that he is among those at fault, and that he held a leadership position in the ill-considered anti-war/anti-US movement which precipitated the tragedy. He maintains his course yet today, and consequences no less dire would proceed from the realization of his agenda.
Of coarse, PoPot had very little to do with the Cambodian massacre. He was influenced by Kerry; the devil told him to do it.
Pol Pot and his Khmer Rouge thugs had very much more to do with it than did Kerry, who was just a player - albeit a major player - in just one of several factors which came together to let the tragedy happen.
Nixon gets a share of blame too, certainly. For that matter, so would Ho Chi Minh and crew, Mao and freinds, them boys in Moscow at the time, and the U.N. which, true to form, did nothing apart from "voice concern".
Any calamity, disaster, or tragedy is likely to depend on many causes and players, and that one was no different; it had lotsa help.
Timber, that is as big a stretch as I have seen on a2k. Are you aka Plastic Man?
I'm unsurprised that would be your take, Advocate.
Can you connect those dots any better, Timber? I mean yeah, Kerry spoke against the Vietnam war after he fought in it, but how did he help bring about the ethnic cleansing of PolPot's killing fields?
I guess 9/11, the growing deficits, torture, etc., were caused by Kerry. Please, we all know that these things were caused by Clinton.
As said, snood, Kerry's game was just one of many links in the chain of missteps which led to the Killing Fields; there was no one cause, many factors worked together to bring about what happened.
Advocate, it would appear either you have an odd view of history or you have a proclivity for straw. I suspect a bit of both.
snood, It only takes a bit of imagination and political bias. It's really easy.
Where's the imagination and bias there, c. i.?
Some people just can't see through their own bias.

The imagination and bias of that NYT bit-o-screed is blatant. Where is the imagination and bias within the statement "

To include Kerry as one of the cause for Pol Pot's killings fields is a stretch where once clamed without direct support is bias on its own merits. If you include Kerry as one of thos responsible, can you also name others at his level of responsbility? Then the question becomes, why? I see bias written all ove rit.

The statements and actions of the Bush family are among those which contributed to the chain of events which culminated with the Nazi Holocaust. I don't say it was their fault, just that they were among those at fault, and that they held a leadership position in financing the anti-semitic/anti-Jews movement which precipitated the tragedy.....
