Virak;
I know many cambodian former refugee would like to disagree that
Thailand treated Cambodians better than Cambodia now...unless you think
marching down Phnom Dangkek, or living in concentration camps is Club
Med, or eating at Hooter with Monsieur Henri
The game of cat and mouse of the Thai border guards with Khmer is
larger than you and I could understand. The Thai military whose tie to
the Thai political establishment, the monarchy, is trying to bait
Cambodia into mini crisis to discredit the PPP party government of
former PM Thaksin. I give Hun Sen credit for taking at most care to
deal it firmly and not unwittingly become a tool for the anti
government factions and the military. The Thai has no legal ground to
claim those temples and lands in world court. That is why they try to
bait cambodia into a fight. Above all, it has nothing with the Paris
Agreement, it has a lot to do with Siam French Treaties that the Thai
want to resin and the potential offshore oil and gas deposit.
The reason Hun Sen does not want to have the UN get involved yet is
because the UN security council, lining up with Thai friendly veto
power countries like the US, UK. Hun Sen also does not want the
useless ASEAN to lose face if he goes over the ASEAN head directly to
the UN.
It is sad that oppositions do not have foreign policy experts,
surrounding themselves only with ignorant nationalist yes-man. Just
listen the US, Condi Rice, and yesterday, Negapornte also said the US
wants Cambodia and Thai to have bilateral talk to resolve the
problems. ASEAN is powerless to solve Thai-Cambodian issues because it
was not set up to do that--solve conflicts. Only UN will do but
Cambodia has to try bilateral talk with Thailand first as the US
suggests.

Running
Cambodia the way Hun Sen and his CPP team are doing now,
Cambodian people are better off somewhere else including Thailand. If
the borders are open and Thailand allows Cambodians to migrate in, you
will see the influx of Cambodians leaving Cambodia to reside in
Thailand. The living standard is far better in Thailand than in many
places of Cambodia. Many Cambodians are leaving Cambodia to find better
job in Thailand, Korea, Taiwan and other countries just to be their
slave. Millions Khmer in Thailand are being treated better by Thai
government. Meanwhile, Cambodian government is treating its own
citizens like animal.
Thailand,
however, will not take over the entire Cambodia at this time. They will
continue to harass Cambodia to chip off its territory, the way Vietnam
has done to Cambodia. Cambodia will have a hard time explaining to the
UN about its continuous violations of the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement.
If Cambodia and Vietnam do not respect the 1991 Paris Peace Agreement,
why should Thailand respect any agreements at all? This explains why
Hun Sen hesitates to get the UN involved. Plus, what kind of
businesses have Hun Sen and Thaksin done in Cambodia?
Cambodia
needs a better government, but will Vietnam allow? Will Cambodians
continue to be gutless forever?

It will end the suffering created by their own people in their own

turned around accusing Cambodia of invading its territories. Thailand
has summoned the Cambodian ambassador to protest of what it called the
Cambodian invasion of the Ta Krabey temple. Thailand is building up a
case against Cambodia to claim the territories and temples it has
occupied, shall the cases go to international court or the UN Security
Council. For full details click below:
