Have you ever been out of Stockton, CA?

You can blame that on the French for starting the Vietnam War, which spread to Laos and Cambodia. As an ally, the Americans secretly gave the French military $23 million to fight the Vietnamese people. This means the French and Americans were more than a gangster. They were thugs and evil criminals.

It's refreshing to know that the Khmer civilization used to be better than the Siam, Vietnamese, and Laos.
