Are you suggesting that Chomsky wasn't an apologist for the Khmer Rouge, or
that Rex Snuvvle isn't in contact with a Communist political group in 1968-9
who are "to the left of Ho Chi Minh", and that he has an ambition to
initiate "programs" and "generate earthly sequences of cause and effect" in
Southeast Asia through these people?
