Again, it's asinine to suggest that the US is only responsible for 100k out of the 2 million civilians killed when you look at the scope and nature of our bombing campaigns and the fact that it was our policy to bomb the rural population out of the countryside. The North Vietnamese undertook no such bombing campaigns, nor has it been suggested by anyone, so far as I know, that they engaged in genocidal slaughter on the order of what the Khmer Rouge did, so how then do you account for the remaining 1.9 million civilian casualties???
What 2 million civilian casualties? Your source likewise provides no definitive facts. You are accepting one claim, Im accepting another.
