You can say anything you want about the invasion by Vietnamese. The fact is that cambodian lives were saved by that invasion. That's the point. Vietnam may well have the intention to take over Cambodia. Vietnamese took everything they could when they were there. Vietnamese did everything during the time they were in Cambodia. However, the fact is that cambodian lives were saved. > > You are not the only one who would say such thing. Watch out. > > I've withdrawn that phrase "Watch out!".

There are alot of people who have chosen to forget their past in Cambodia including spoken language. I can find many of them around. So if you use the words WE, then you include those people too. Then your statement would not be true. Cambodian tradition won't be changed overnight. The problem is not how long it would be changed. The point should be on whether the Cambodian people have the will to change. Today, Cambodians don't seem to have that will. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
