If you consult with each individual land owners along the border area, the border line itself will never be established because the dispute will never be resolved. A clear policy must be established. And it will implemented with a broad authority set up for fairness and agreement of all parties. It's easy say than done. Yet, that's the only way to ascertain a border line. > “It is illegal under national and international law.

It is not clear whether: 1 Sam Rainsy and his cronies landowners are right or wrong. 2 Vietnamese realy incroached the land of Cambodia. My friend, I have a true friend who lived near the border most of his adult life. He went to visit the area and told me that the border seemed to be a couple kilometers into Cambodia than it used to be. IS IT TRUE? You can tell me. I am not there, nor I knew where the border was then. I can't make that judgemetn, nor I can believe those cronies and Sam Rainsy.
