The map of US bombing targets released by Yale University’s Cambodian Genocide Program shows that more than half of the country was affected by the indiscriminate bombings. Professor Ben Kierman, director of the program, puts the casualties figure from the bombing at 150,000 deaths, while Edward Herman, a professor of Wharton School, and Noam Chomsky put the toll at 600,000 using figures provided by a Finnish Commission of Inquiry.
Based on this, we can never naively claim that US bombing led to the mass executions by the Khmer Rouge or refuted the regime's mass atrocities. But, to certain extent, the blanket bombing, which directly led to the destruction of livestock and agricultural land, could have definitely played a role in the mass starvation.
From new data released during the Clinton administration, Taylor Owen, a doctoral student at Oxford University, and Professor Kierman noted that 2,756,941 tons of bombs were dropped on Cambodia.
To put the figure into perspective, just over 2 million tons of bombs were dropped by the allies during all of World War II. The bombs dropped in Cambodia represented about 184 Hiroshima atomic bombs combined, making Cambodia the most bombed nation in the world. Based on the new data, Professor Kierman also stressed that the casualties might be much higher than his earlier predicted 150,000.
Based on this, the bombing contributed to the rise of the Khmer Rouge. The number of Khmer Rouge cadres rose from a group that had an insignificant prospect ousting the US-backed Lon Nol’s regime, roughly from 1,000 in 1969 to 220,000 in 1973.
It's going to be a long journey, folks.

Justice must be served!
The true must be told or reveal!
In the name of human right, the true must not be hidden!
Let’s find out the real true behind the killing field.” Are nearly two millions innocent Cambodia only murdered by Khmer Rouge alone? Or Khmer Rouge + Vietnam + American bombs = over 1.7 millions innocent Cambodian people death?”
It's going to be a long journey, folks.
Bury the past,get on with your life and move on.

Does Vietnam involved in the killing field too?
Do the American Bombs before Khmer Roug involved with killed Cambodian people too ? If it does, How many victims of USA bombs ?
Have over 1.7 millions Cambodian people been killed by Khmer Rough alone ? Or over 1.7 millions people were killed by USA bombs + Vietnam + KR ? If it does involved each parties. How many each parties must be responsible for hunman right violation in the crimes against humanity?
Are USA and Vietnam try to blame on the Khmer Roug alone or what ?
Could not wait to see the KR leaders telling the truth about Who behind the Killing Field.
Of course, those KR leaders could not get away what they did, but they should point out who actual kill Khmer.
People said that Khmer kill Khmer, but Khmer would not Kill Khmer as what happened during the KR time.
The Vietnamese Communists (VC) had embedded inside of the KR forces during the revolution. When the KR came to power, those VCs did not go back to Vietnam because they did not finish their mission to take over Cambodia yet. So, those are the disguised KR who tactically killed Khmer.
Hopefully the souls of my Khmer Krom relatives who were killed by those bastard VCs miracle help to make those KR leaders brave to tell the truth so the world know the real face of who behind the Killing Field.
I think they mistaken khmer krom for Cham. Khmer krom are ethnic khmer living in the former territory of Cambodia.
Vietnamese soldiers killed Khmer
Krom in Cambodia.
Ah Sihanouk lets Vietcong troops
killed 3,000,000 Khmer people.
When I told the truth,someone
will be mad.
The world changed;time changed too.
East Timor changed.
Kampuchea Krom will be changed,free,
and independent.He takes time to be
free from Vietnam.
Khmer Krom should be responsible,
communicated,and dutiful people
to let the world know who they are.
