Dear All,
I have 4 kids.2 daughters & 2 sons.
My 2 Virak boros sons are always complaining.....They make me think of a few
guys in Camdisc and Cambodiawacth forum.
I told my sons : " you're all would get kill during Khmer Rouge if you did
not learn how to solve a little problem."
Crying doesn't help at all....maybe delete them or do something what I know
you're smart kids. You can do better than that. Thanks.

An old dinasaur from Down Under
Dear all,
I just have a quick look at Sarath's statement and it sounds polite and
acceptable. We all should not do as we did before because it is just a small
thing. The forum is for learning, but not for fighting and shouting at each
other. They are information and i don't think it will cause you trouble just to
open or delet it. For me, the information is very useful for me and for all in
the current cambodian context.
Sorry for any inconveniences!
Regards,
Bandos ROS

Hi there.!
If I would suggest to everyone on this mailing list that please do not argue
or fight against each other on this forum. I believe that there are not just
only our Cambodian friends who access the cambodiawatch forum, but our neighbor
friends also monitoring this daily info exchange net. It would be very much
nicer if our friends could be more creative to build our nation's unity rather
than let down of our dignity. Do not show off our negative historical behavior
that Khmer people (not all) always spited themselves into small factions. I
think this is a time that we have to reflect on the recent history where
everyone know that are nearly run out of home and land to live. Think again....
!! You can be American, French, Australian by now... but our blood still be
Khmer. The Khmer Angkor race...! Don't let this last bit of land away to
others...! Come on brother.!
I'm sorry if this suggestion does not meet your appreciation.
Truly yours,
Sarath

Hi All,
Can somebody tell me what is wrong with Cambodia Watch?? It's surprising to
me because Many people written to inform about their unsubbcribing from the

Please let me know too because i didn't know anything wrong yet, and i
don't want to unsubcribe without knowing the clear reasons!! I suppose all of
you aware that something is wrong somewhere with the link!!
It would be crazy if you don't know that unsubcribe because you see many
people unsubcribe, and I don't want to be that crazy person.
Please let me know before too late for me.
Rach

Officials to meet over deadly Thai-Cambodia border gunbattle
THAI and Cambodian military officials will meet today for negotiations
over yesterday's border conflict that left two soldiers dead.
Cambodian Foreign Minister Hor Namhong said military officials from
both sides would meet in Thailand to discuss the clash over a border area near
a historic temple.
At least two Cambodian soldiers were killed in the gunbattle, and a
total of eight troops from both sides were wounded.
Thailand's Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat pledged to "use peaceful
means".
"If there is violence, we have to negotiate," Somchai said.
Yesterday's clash was the first deadly fighting in four months of
tensions since Cambodia's Preah Vihear temple was declared a UN World Heritage
site.
Many Thais feared their country's claim over nearby land would be
undermined, and anti-government protesters have pressed their government to
take a harder line on the border conflict, seeking to discredit its patriotic
credentials.
The protesters have sought the ouster of Thailand's ruling party,
occupying the grounds of the prime minister's offices for the past two months.
The fighting yesterday afternoon lasted for about an hour, with each
side accusing the other of firing first.
The battle killed at least two Cambodian soldiers and wounded three
others, according to Cambodia's Foreign Ministry. Five Thai soldiers were
wounded, the Thai army said.
Thailand's Foreign Ministry said Thai soldiers were peacefully
patrolling their own territory along the border when Cambodian soldiers shot at
them with rocket propelled grenades and submachine guns.
Cambodia's Foreign Ministry accused Thai troops of launching "heavy
armed attacks" at three different locations to push back Cambodians from
positions inside Cambodian territory.
The fighting was the latest flare-up in a decades-old dispute over a
stretch of jungle near the 11th century Preah Vihear temple. The World Court
awarded the temple to Cambodia in 1962, but sovereignty over surrounding land
has never been clearly resolved.
Thailand had grudgingly accepted Cambodian sovereignty over the temple
with few armed confrontations until this year. But resurgent Thai nationalism
sparked by the anti-government protesters put Bangkok authorities under
pressure to aggressively pursue the land claims.
Both sides sent hundreds of troops to the area after the UNESCO action,
and the dispute also fired a surge of nationalism in Cambodia that helped
propel Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen to a landslide re-election victory in
late July.
Most troops were withdrawn from the area a month later.
But the conflict flared again in recent weeks. A brief gunfight earlier
this month wounded one Cambodian and two Thai soldiers. Three days later, two
Thai soldiers lost legs when they stepped on land mines in the area.
Charnvit Kasetsiri, a historian who has written extensively on the
dispute, said the fight over the temple had long been a proxy for larger
conflicts, including World War II and the Cold War, but it had been considered
resolved until recently.
"The issue surrounding Preah Vihear temple was over decades ago until
it was fanned by nationalist rhetoric for domestic political purposes," he
said.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the US would urge both
sides to refrain from violence. UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon also urged
restraint and called on the two sides to quickly resolve the dispute.
Thailand's more than 300,000-strong military uses modern US equipment
and dwarfs Cambodia's 125,000 less well-equipped troops. Cambodian forces,
however, are well versed in guerrilla warfare after fighting an intense civil
war against the communist Khmer Rouge.
