It may be so. Yet, it still doesn't make Hun Sen dum.
Remember! he has been that way for a very long time. Yet, Cambodia is
where it is today under his leadership. Is Cambodia better than it was
twenty years ago?
These are facts, not whether one likes Hun Sen or not.

Now, let the world see this paragraph.
Once, many Cambodians cried for fair election.
Now, they just had the best election Cambodians have ever had.
What do they want now?
Ofcourse, they want a certain way, a certain type of democracy, a
certain government of what they think it ought to be.
Is that called democracy?
Is that called improvement?
This is exaxtly the mentality of the Cambodian opposition parties. No
matter how CPP does, it's all wrong. No matter what the outcome from
the CPP is, it's all wrong. The reason is that they want their own
people to have that job. They hate CPP. They can't accept any outcome
from CPP. Isn't it the mentality of Sam Rainsy? Isn't it the mentality
of Cambodians, which lead them to civil war from one generation to
another? Remember ! the flip flop of Sihanouk? He wanted his power so
bad. He would do anything to get it. It means that the interest of his
country is second to his power. The same applies here. Sam Rainsy has
been doing the same thing. He wants his clan to hate their couterpart,
which was their fellowed Cambodian citizens. Fortunately, Cambodians
know better now after years of fighting each others. They voted them
out. Sam Rainsy and his clan now has very little to fight on.
Cambodians have rejected them through their most fair election they
have ever had.
SO ARE YOU REJECTING THAT?
