I think one can conclude that the days of the Lon Nol regime are numbered. I think that this poses a very special problem for us. The fact of the matter is that during the years in which the civil war in Cambodia has taken place. almost 10 percent of the people of Cambodia have been killed. and almost half the people of that strifetorn country have been made refugees. I think that. to a very significant extent. we bear a very real responsibility for having precipitated the conflict in that country as a result of our incursion there in 1970. The question then becomes: What will happen when the Lon Nol regime falls and the Khmer Rouge comes to power?
