One of my clients from Thailand has followed Cambodian/Thai political situations closely. He is not fond of the new Thai Prime minister and wish that Cambodian and Thai can be friends like we are here in the U.S. He agrees that the Thai government has their own political issues and is using Preah Vihear to divert from domestic problems, but he also said that Cambodian politicians are so stupid to fight each other over the words "strong legs". After understanding what "strong legs" really meant in Khmer expressions, he shook his head. >From his point of views he said that Hun Sen will come out as a winner, not so much as to win over Mu Soc Hua, but being a winner as patriotism for trying to rally Cambodians behind him to face off with Thailand, while the Oppositions are trying to tear Hun Sen apart. He stated that the Thais are really happy to see Hun Sen being dehumanized as much as possible, this will give the Thais the edge to deal with Cambodia over the border issues and other issues as well. He claimed that looking from where he was; the Oppositions were seen to be nothing but trouble makers. But, that what the Thai government wants-- a divided Cambodia. I didn't want to argue with the gentleman, but that's what I learned from him as a foreigner. Interesting… What do you think? _http://timothychhim.blogspot.com/_ (http://timothychhim.blogspot.com/) **************Shop Popular Dell Laptops now starting at $349!
