If you really look back at the Cambodian history and the current
situation in the Cambodian society, one can come to a conclusion that
Cambodians are still fighting each other for power so they can corrupt
and to practice the culture of impunity over no one but their own
people in their own nation.
Cambodian people have been doing this for a very long time from one
generation to another.
Cambodians also have been searching ways to tacle their problems by
clinging to the same rhetorics.
The Cambodian culture cannot be changed. KhmerRouge tried to do it.
Yet, they could not succeed. Instead, they almost destroyed it to
ground zero.
Now, they are back to the same rhetorics. They corrupt and practice
the culture of impunity.What else is new?
In comparison, Thailand has been living in peace under their monarchy
lead. They brought their society to a higher standard. They continue
to make it better. Hence, there is no comparison between Cambodia and
Thailand.
So Cambodia would be better when they join Thailand as one nation.

It's not a game. Thailand really wants that territory to be their
land. Thailand wants Angkor to be theirs as well.
Stupidity from the Cambodian side will not discourage those nation to
pursue that dream. Actually, they are encouraging through their own
act of self destruction. Thailand will take that part of the country.
It's not a game.

Who is Hun Sen and his government?
Aren't they Cambodians?
If they are, why are they so stupid according to your view?

The American government and the American people have no vital interest
in that region at this time.
So their comment is nothing but the promote peaceful solution.
Don't expect America to help anyone there anytime soon.

It is impossible for Thailand to take over Cambodia at this time. No
one has ever suggest that.
However, the people of Cambodia can. They can become a part of great
nation called the kingdom of Thailand.

Cambodia needs a better culture, not new different same government.
Cambodian government officals are nothing but thugs who try to extort
their own people in many ways they can.
It's the way they live in Cambodia.
It's their own culture.
They corrupt and to practice the culture of impunity.
They do it from all Cambodian history.
They use power to practice this culture.
That's their prestige.
They even kill their own people for power.
They even destroy their own nation for power.
That's their goal.
