This answer is very clear. Sam Rainsy doesn't have the answer. He has been a part of the government for quite sometimes. Now, he is not and stay abroad because he is in trouble. What is the difference between then and now? The government is still the same. The difference is that Sam Rainsy has done something really wrong. It is the same as what Mu had done. Both of them ran overseas for their safety net. > - From Hanoi: See my offer in the 21 December 2009 statement “The Real Court > Is in Hanoi” athttp://tinyurl.com/y99gv8w > > - From Phnom Penh: See my offer in the 2 January 2010 Cambodia Daily’s > article “Rainsy Says Will Return When Prisoners Freed” and other press > reports such as the one from Radio France Internationale > athttp://tinyurl.com/yzqq5nn > > I must give the two governments some time to respond to my consistent and > legitimate offers. > > I hope they will answer in one way or another.

Sam Rainsy wants his support to fight for him when he is far away. He means the people to die for him. So he can get the power later. That is Sam Rainsy's mentality. > I am proud of, and blessed by, the permanent presence on the spot of > countless competent and dedicated colleagues at all levels who are capable of > adjusting to any situation like the one in 2005-2006 when I was “absent” for > a whole year.

He is confident on his people to fight for him while he is safe in another country. " fight on my fellowed Cambodians" is his theme and many other Sam Rainsy cronies. > In the present world and with modern technologies, the word “absence” in the > political field does not have the same meaning as only ten years ago.

Thaksin was leading his country at one time and many Thais are supporting him. Sam Rainsy is no where near it. Sam Rainsy is no Thaksin. Thaksin does business for profit. Sam Rainsy only knows to use people for his own gain. Thaksin did alot of good things for Thai poor people. What has Sam Rainsy done to the Cambodian people.Now he ran away when he is in trouble.
