But, from what I remember... Cambodia allowed the US to bomb...
However, in practice much of the bombing was indiscriminate, and hundreds of thousands of civilians were killed as a result. Estimates of civilian deaths vary from 100,000 to 600,000.
Under Prince Sihanouk, Cambodia had preserved neutrality during the Vietnamese civil war by giving a little to both sides: Vietnamese communists were allowed to use a Cambodian port to ship in supplies, the USA were allowed to bomb - secretly and illegitimately - Viet Cong hideouts in Cambodia.

Do I think it was right?!?! I believe I said that we shouldn't have been there in the first place.

I was just stating that it did seem to me that he was apologizing.

Don't you think Obama deflects a lot of stuff saying that all the problems occurred due to past administrations. (i.e.- Bush, etc...)

Where did you meet people (psychiatric asylums not included) that called for Obama to stay forever?

What's wrong with this picture... when all the dictators of the world love Obama?!?!
- Does anyone else see these types of "Warning" flags?
He can be a fresh breeze if he wants. I'd rather that he was successful. I think it's quite naive to think that he'll be able to get the rest of the world to join him on his vision quest of peace and love. He's acting like lots of people from his generation who still think it's Woodstock and that they can reinvent the world if only we'd all take a toke or two and see the light. He's talking to a group of leaders who still chop body parts off for breaking the law.
It's a disgrace because like his string of previous apologies - it's illustrative of the fact that he's much better at getting elected than in governing. It's time to stop running against George Bush's legacy. You don't go into an international forum and denigrate the work and sacrifice of government actors who've come before you. His arrogance is breathtaking.
It's a disgrace because it's not sustainable. He'll cannot assume the role of international leadership and assume the role of a multilateralist. He has to be ready to do exactly the same things that he's been talking about on his apology tour. Otherwise, he'll either have to violate his oath of office, or turn himself into a hypocrite who can't be trusted.
The country isn't an experiment, there's a lot at stake. He's not the first guy to have these thoughts, he's only the first one stupid and/or arrogant enough to articulate them as a US President in an international forum.
Well, at least Qaddafi likes Obama - apparently he'd like him to be president forever. Man I miss the WWII generation.
