the US Congress pushed through a stop. In total, 540 000 tons <strong>of</strong><br />

bombs were dropped on Cambodia.<br />

In his book "<strong>The</strong> Trial <strong>of</strong> Henry Kissinger" (2001), the journalist<br />

Christopher Hitchens presents evidence that Kissinger is liable to<br />

prosecution for the instigation <strong>of</strong> murder in Santiago (Chile), Nicosia<br />

(Cyprus), and Washington D.C., war crimes in Vietnam, the bombing<br />

<strong>of</strong> Cambodia, massacres in Bangladesh in 1971 and as well as geno-<br />

cide in East Timor in 1975. This has not yet been done.<br />

Prince Norodom Sihanouk was no longer able to control the<br />

situation in Cambodia, where many areas had become effective bases<br />

for the communists. General Lon Nol subsequently carried out a coup<br />

d'etat, overthrowing Prince Sihanouk with the help <strong>of</strong> the CIA on 18<br />

March 1970. In April <strong>of</strong> that year American and South Vietnamese<br />

troops were let into Cambodia to "save the country from commu-<br />

nism". In this way, Lon Nol, who had appointed himself "marshal",<br />

forced "the Khmer Republic" into the war in Indo-China. Close to two<br />

million peasants fled to the capital, which already had one million<br />

inhabitants. <strong>The</strong> Finnish investigating commission estimated that<br />

American warfare in Cambodia had cost the lives <strong>of</strong> at least 600 000<br />

people. In May 1970, American troops entered Laos as well.<br />

<strong>The</strong> American military equipment for Lon Nol's regime was insured<br />

by the national Soviet insurance agency (Gostrakh), according to<br />

Chinese sources ("Soviet Foreign Policy: Social Imperialism", Chinese<br />

Embassy, Helsinki, 1977, p. 10). <strong>The</strong> same source states that Czecho-<br />

slovakia manufactured arms for Lon Nol in a factory inside Cambodia.<br />

At the same time, Peking supported the Red Khmer, while Moscow<br />

stood behind the Vietnamese red terrorists, who according to Gary<br />

Allen, also received arms from the United States.<br />

Soon, many <strong>of</strong> Lon Nol's supporters realized that they had been<br />

shamelessly used, and joined the democratic movement behind<br />

Sihanouk. Thus the communist Pol Pot Kmae-kroh movement was<br />

helped to <strong>power</strong> on 17 April 1975, indirectly by the United States<br />

and directly by China. Pol Pot (actually Saloth Sar) renamed the<br />

country Kampuchea (the original name Cambodia was taken back<br />
