they began using cambodia as a base area in the late 1950s. they benefitted from the fact that prince cianuk was pretty pliable and he apieced hanoi. the communists basically turned his country into a war zone as a result of it. they even eventually went to supporting the camarouge, the home grown cambodian communists. by the late 1960s the cam bonian port becomes critical for a communist supply effort in south vietnam. now in 1970 a general named la nau overthrows cuanau. his new government demanded that the communist leave. in three days. here you have the intervention of the communists, a really significant intervention. he provoked in many ways a civil war in cambodia that becomes pretty, pretty messy and lays the foundation for some disasters afterwards. the nixon administration at this point decides also to take the war to cambodia and hit the vc base yars here which is very effective and messes up a lot of the north vietnamese plans and delay some of their operations for a year. the north, real war, is still in south vietnam. the come m

this is set up in cambodia. they do this to run the war in the south. it's basically their command to run the war in south vietnam. while they're doing this they divide the south into various districts to organize throughout the country, even down to the village level. in 1961 the north intensifies the military as well as the political struggle against the south. what they're hoping when they get into this, they think they can politicize the situation enough and make it violent enough where they can provoke a general uprising against the south vietnamese regime. one of the strands that runs through the north vietnamese military is they can create a situation of instability and terror in the south that is strong enough and indoctrinate enough people to get the spontaneous or provoked uprising, they never get it but they hope it will be part of it. other communist movements have the same type of view and they generally are as unsuccessful. critically at the same time they have another issue that's starting to bother them. the u.s. has a pretty extensive a

sierra leon and cambodia there's no justice system at all. there's no money for them. and cambodia as david knows much better than i do now, is immense attempts by the cambodian government to interfere politically with the tribunal. and getting back to your other point about gadhafi, there is also a sense, i suppose, at least on some occasions that indictment on the international criminal court deter forces, monsters like gadhafi to stay on and fight till the end. if gadhafi had been eased out and encouraged to go to venezuela than indicted, it may be a peace settlement of the violence in libya would have come earlier and fewer people would have died. the duvalliers, for example, were eased out of haiti and i think that was a very good thing. rather than feeling that they had nowhere to go and they should fight to the end and there are many examples like that. so i think not everything not everything is international justice that we have done so far is necessarily to the instant benefit of the population to whom we do. >> >> the last three points we could spend two hou

one of the primary ways they carry out their war during this later to be expanded into cambodia as well. and this is something that's very, very significant to the communist war effort in south vietnam, pivotal, pivotal for much -- for all of their war effort here once they really lunch the military struggle. now, the importance is critical here for supplies, logistics, for manpower and so on. so it's a very significant investment. 2 million people used the trail during the course of the war. and peak traffic was 20,000 tons a month. they moved every possible thing can you imagine. but the primary means of actually moving the supplies, the bulk of them come 100-pound packs on somebody's back down the tra destabilize the south. but the president of south vietnam is a man named zem. he knows -- obviously they know what the north is trying to do. and he actually begins to mount a fairly effective campaign of suppression of the communist insurgents in south vietnam. this, by 1960, is worrying the north vietnamese because what they saw is their cadres be the vietnamese to make this regime co

some places in kenya and cambodia have done a better job in china than they have in the u.s., and that is kind of embarrassing considering we have and i would like to draw on the experience of china. i know a lot of people say china has been run by dictators. they also have done something remarkable. 20 years ago we were talking about the year of the woman. 20 years ago most of the people in china were in poverty, and they were under a communist society, so they also have a political challenge and a social challenge. 20 years ago they said education was critical because if we can educate our girls, and they can start working in factories. we call them sweat shops, but they were the best alternative of lot of high school graduates had, so they worked their butts off. maybe it is not factories. maybe it is something else, but it is something that gives a goal for the people to look for potential jobs, even if its is just a vocational school. java localt fathat factory. -- at a local factory. they started bringing home the paycheck, and that elevated their status, and that is what is crit

next week we'll discover a new kind of fuel being made in cambodia.in a country where the widespread use of wood charcoal leads to illegal logging, this product made from coconut shells is better for the environment in several ways. it prevents waste, as the coconut husks are recycled, saves trees and burns longer and cleaner than wood charcoal. so more on that green alternative next time. but for now from me and the entire global team here in our berlin studios. thanks for watching and bye bye. captioned by the national captioning institute --www.ncicap.org--

(oliver stone) i served september of '67 to december of '68 in cambodia. then i was wounded twice and got out of the combat. i got into a court-martial situation with a sergeant. most of them were a---, in my opinion. they never went to combat and never were in the field. there was a lot of resentment, obviously, and i think that comes out in "hamburger hill." i think there's that -- a lot of resentment, but a reluctant patriotism, i suppose. (john irvin) the people i've talked to didn't have an option. obviously, it was possible to evade the draft. the people i met didn't have the means or will. it's from my girlfriend. (john irvin) or even believe that it was right to. says she's not gonna write anymore. friends at college told her it was immoral to write to me. oh. there were those of us who thought the war was wrong, but felt in many ways as though we had no choice other than to do what our duty was.

it's only -- x-ray is only six miles from the cambodian border and the river runs into cambodia. i think that khmer rouge, all though the threat has been diminished in years, was certainly praent when we went back there many 1993. and we spent is night on that battlefield. and this was pretty sporty. there's the molten yard situation, where unfortunately, the hanoi government is almost wiping out the northern yard tribes. sending them away from their an ze an zest steral and it's a tragedy not understood in the western world. i'm sure you're very familiar with all of that. >> yes, sir. there were tribes people there on the morning you came in on the 14th? >> oh, indeed, there were, yeah. >> did they quickly disburse? >> i never personally saw any molton yards but there were molton yarder villages to the north of us on the river. you got to have water. that's primarily the where the molton yards were. when we went back in '93, there were a few molton yards materializ materialized. and also, when we went back in 1997, we saw a few molton yards. along the river. >> could you describ

of course, the french were not only in vietnam, they were in laos and cambodia as well. colonizing the whole place. i have never understood and perhaps you can enlighten me, on why president truman did not strongly object to the french re-colonizing southeast asia after world war ii when they threatened the dutch that they were going to cut off marshall aid if he didn't get out of indonesia and they did. why did we tolerate the french giving birth to another war in southeast asia? it became the siege of the american involvement in our tragedy. general hon and i, when we met in hanoi we talked for several hours. went to dinner together with some of his officers. and the general, historian, and now his boss who was a brigadier general during the battle. as strange as it may seem, general hon and i became friends. we were together for several days. hotel together, ate together. good interpreter. he was sick with a respiratory infection and i was, too, and i gave him some of my medicine. he got better and i got better. and we resolved after that trip back to the battlefield

in 1970, when we invaded cambodia, mr. nixon's angst was with the united states pentagon, not with the enemy, because they had not evolved a suspiciously powerful or potent plan. mr. nixon wished to fire the united states commander in vietnam, general craig abrams, because he was not acting forcefully enough. in 1972, in the beginning of the year, when the north vietnamese launched the eastern offenses, mr. nixon immediately criticized the air force for not developing sufficiently potent plans for hitting north vietnam. in fact, the christmas bombings that occurred in december 1972, in which we sent 150 b-52 bombers, was prefigured the middle of april of that year when mr. nixon specifically wrote in memos that he sent to the pentagon, i want a plan thursday morning to hit hanoi with 100 b-52 bombers. he was constantly pushing and pushing. this is the kind of thing you have to explain. it's not limited. there was a plane shot down. the immediate response that knicks be son ordered was an armedbñ-v attack, similar to at no

it happened in cambodia, and we lost reporters. it happened in north vietnam. we didn't get americans into north vietnam, but we got third-country nationals into north vietnam, and those reports occasionally appeared on television screens in the united states, western europe. i'm unaware of that. mr. jennings, you've got the chance to go with the north kosanese unit. they will show you atrocities by the south kosanese. but as fate would have it, they aren't able to get there because there's a skirmish, there's some confusion, and in fact, the north kosanese are about to ambush a unit of south kosanese soldiers. i'm afraid to say that as a reporter-- and i hope this is taken as the hypothesis it is-- as a reporter, i think you make a commitment going in. you understand going in that the possibility exists that you may come upon a south kosanese unit. you also make the decision going in that you could come upon an american unit. my feeling would be as a reporter that you'd have to make that decision before you went, and that if you're in, you're in. i live in fea
