...exodus of Communist diplomats began suddenly. Early in the week nearly a dozen women and children from the Soviet embassy hurriedly left Cambodia. Some North Korean aid technicians soon followed.

...understand to some extent the exodus and the reasons you ascribe for it. I cannot comprehend the utter rejection of the ancient church in bitterness by those who formerly served it. It's almost like renouncing one's mother just because she's a bit behind the times...
