Er, Ed, you *did* recognise Pol Pot.

Not only did US intervention in neighbouring Vietnam set up the situation
for him to seize power, and not only did the US drop 539,129 tons secretly
on his country between 1969 and 1973, giving him a steady supply of
recruits, but I believe the US channelled substantial military and food aid
to his awful regime after the Vietnam withdrawal.

Not the best example to choose!

John
