My message was in response to your long message after you read the Yale pagel, after someone spotted the typo and sent a corrected link. You reviewed what you saw there in a tone of voice that sounded to me like you have never seen the Yale project before, yet if any monkey types

http://www.google.com/search?q=cambodia+genocide

It's the first N hits you'll see. And if you look through the first 40-50 hits, you won't see anyone else saying 'These Yalies are State Department stooges!' ...

Have you seen it before? Because if you have, it sure seemed like you didn't.

Perhaps, uh, you should re-read what you wrote.

Because now you've noodled around this topic so much that I feel compelled to summarize thusly:

Lance: There was no genocide in Cambodia. Others: Huh? Of course there was. Lance: <mumble>, <distraction>, <US-bashing>, etc. Others: Sure, Nixon sucked, bombs blah-blah, but THERE WAS A GENOCIDE THERE Lance: Let me try to weasel out of this by pretending your post is about a non-existent link in some other posting

Answer the question: does Pol Pot accurately deserve the title "mass murderer" or not? No squiggling out of it by talking about 500,000 tons of bombs or whether there was a valid census in 1980.

"Just 'yes' or 'no' ..."
