The murder of civilians in areas controlled by governments friendly to the United States is apparently regarded as less tragic or less criminal than those deaths that somehow could be made purely an American responsibility. While the Communists in Cambodia are shelling civilians. the people in areas under their military control seek to escape at any opportunity. To the north of the Cambodian capital in just the last few days some 10.000 refugees fled to the government after 3 years under Communist control. Despite the dangers and hardships of life in the government areas. these villagers have registered another dramatic referendum on the unpopularity of their former Communist masters. World opinion. which should be struck by this rejection of the so called peoples forces in Cambodia. is strangely silent.
