The US did indeed arm the "Khmer Rouge", whatever that is, after its era in power.

That’s a highly contended assertion.

We know the Carter administration contemplated arming the Khmer Rouge and we know they hated the idea.

There is no evidence that they actually ever gave military aid.

And? The US also committed countless atrocities in Vietnam. I'm talking about the misdeeds of Noam Chomsky, not of the US.
