Dear All, I believe that the will of the leader determines the future of a nation like the saying "where there's a will, there is a way'. Even France offers old maps to help solve the Cambodian-Thai conflict. This should have been done a long time ago so that lives of many soldiers, their families and the civilians could be saved and the mother earth & stone (Preah Vihear temple) would not suffer from the bullets. Regards, Chanroeun Feb 9, 2011 France offers old maps to help resolve Thai-Cambodia spat PARIS - FRANCE offered on Wednesday to help resolve a festering border dispute between Thailand and Cambodia by providing maps it made at the start of the last century when it ruled Indo-China. French officials made the maps in preparation for the Franco-Siamese Treaty of 1907, which delimited the area over which the two countries are squabbling. Foreign ministry spokesman Bernard Valero told reporters that Paris was happy to provide the documents 'to any country that asks us to consult them or to make a copy of these documents'. At least eight people have been killed in four days of cross-border violence between Thailand and Cambodia around the ancient temple of Preah Vihear, which forced thousands of families to flee on both sides of the frontier. -- AFP http://www.straitstimes.com/BreakingNews/World/Story/STIStory_633076.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cambodia Discussion (CAMDISC) - www.cambodia.org" group.
