There is a line connecting the U.S. invasion of Cambodia, which was launched exactly twenty years ago and the military intervention in Peru, which is now under way. The Cambodian "incursion was meant to extend American military power throughout Indo-China. The buildup in Peru is designed to project an American presence into the Andean valleys and forests. The rationale for Cambodia was to "interdict" Vietnamese troops on the HoChi Minh trail, as the justification for Peru is the interruption of the coca trade and the suppression of the Shining Path guerillas who are thought to abet it.
