Chetrasena,
Many western scholars or historians do not have a clue what is going on inside
Cambodia. Let me give you two examples, one David Chandler and Naranhkiri Tith.
Don’t get me wrong, I do respects of their research, but in some grey area I
don’t agree with them because they didn’t live through and then claims to know
more than people who are facing with the reality.
First, let me say about David Chandler, a well-known Khmer Historian. I met
David Chandler…I have to stop her.
Second, Naranhkiri Tith claims to know Khmer Rouge regime. However, he did not
live under that regime. I have to stop here, too.
Now for the Sangkum Reast Ang Kuy yum of Norodom Sihanouk. Agree, many Khmers
did like him, I asked many of them, they like Norodom Sihanouk. No one can give
me an answer. I believed everyone just follow the other tails.
It is the same thing; I am asking the Democrats friends today. They claims John
F. Kennedy is a good president. I asked what Kennedy did for United States of
America to make him a good president? He was president from January 20,
1961 – November 22, 1963. None the Democrats friends answer me why?
My question is what good did Norodom Sihanouk done for Khmers and the country?
Norodon Sihanouk were in higher position many times , three times as head of
State include head of state of Khmer Rouge regime. Ten times as Prime Minister
and three times as the King. If you are comparing Norodom Sihanouk with his
power to other country, then Norodom Sihanouk is a dictator. Then the coupe in
1970 is the right thing to do.
Head of State:
20 Jun 1960 - 18 Mar 1970 (1st time) The SangKum Reas Niyum
17 Apr 1975 - 11 Apr 1976 (2nd time) Khmer Rouge Regime
14 Jun 1993 - 24 Sep 1993 (3rd time)
Prime ministers
18 Mar 1945 - 13 Aug 1945 (1st time)
28 Apr 1950 - 30 May 1950 (2nd time)
16 Jun 1952 - 24 Jan 1953 (3rd time)
7 Apr 1954 - 18 Apr 1954 (4th time)
3 Oct 1955 - 5 Jan 1956 (5th time)
1 Mar 1956 - 24 Mar 1956 (6th time)
15 Sep 1956 - 15 Oct 1956 (7th time)
9 Apr 1957 - 7 Jul 1957 (8th time)
10 Jul 1958 - 19 Apr 1960 (9th time)
17 Nov 1961 - 13 Feb 1962 (10th time)
King:
24 Apr 1941 - 3 Mar 1955 (1st time)
24 Sep 1993 - 6 Oct 2004 (2nd time)
For sure, I am a Republican, because I do not like majority of Democrats idea.
For Obama idea, I really do not like it. To me I do not like the way they are
describe freedom and the government too big to take over every individual’s
business.
I believe in Freedom is the freedom that individual are born with, where the
Democrats, the king, communist and the socialist are claiming , they are the
one
that give or provide their citizen the freedom.
Tea Party? I am not interested in it. That’s the Democrats’ propaganda to
label
conservative like me.
I hope this would help some.
