| User ReviewTimm SYear Zero: The Silent Death of Cambodia Horrifying. Millions of people condemned to such undignified deaths just because Nixon wanted to show Vietnam and the Communist powers not to fuck with him. Henry Kissinger deserves a long, painful, humiliating death but he'll probably die in his late 90s peacefully in his sleep. With the stroke of a pen, he killed about 3 million people with no justification. He and Nixon. Of course, Nixon wasn't impeached for THAT, he was impeached for covering up a robbery. Big deal. |
