North Vietnam did until their victory, and then relations between them cooled rapidly until Vietnam invaded CAmbodia, defeated the Khmer Rouge, and took over the country. I think that if CIA did help them, it would have become known by now (say, a New York Times article). It is also claimed that American bombing was responsible for their genocides and mass murders that followed their victory. <br /><br />Nonsense. They did the same when they were an anti-government guerrilla movement in Cambodia and before any bombing took place or American aid would have, if it did.R.J.

I have heard people blame the US intelligence agencies for Pol Pots actions. Last I looked, both Pol Pot and Ho Chi Minh interestingly studied in France. I don't ever remember reading the US aiding Pol Pot. Maybe I'm wrong. <br /><br />Clearly, his later 'Year Zero' Marxism was totally at odds with US values at the time.Sionnnoreply@blogger.com
