Some Cambodians in America are still dreaming about what they used to have before Khmer Rouge era, especially the time during Lon Nol regime. Most of them came from officials ranking of Lon Nol government. They had it all. That's why they wanted to go back. Ofcourse they didn't see the suffering of the poor people who lived day in and day out with very little. That's why they are dreaming of their past. Now, many of refugee who resettled in America were truely former Khmer Rouge or Khmer Rouge associates. Do you know how I know it? Believe me. I know. Let us just see it that way. Now, those people are living well in America. Many of them are still living under our government subsidies. These people didn't get any benefits from Khmer Rouge. They may have had easier life than some others. Yet, they still suffered. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group. This is an unmoderated forum.
