Savun, I disagree with you. It is as much about the disputed territorial above Preah Vihear as it is about Preah Vihear itself. Please take notes of articles on THE NATIONS and THE BANGKOK POSTS.
It is pretty clear that the dispute is fueled and kept alived by angry PAD supporters who have been led to believed not only that the disputed area definitely belongs to Thailand but that they must also "retake Preah Vihear". "Prah Viharn is ours! Prah Viharn is ours!" the message from the Thai people who support this cause is very clear to the Cambodian people, whether their government holds that same policy or not-- Khmer are wary and feels insulted of the Thai opinions. Though the Thais officially do not make the claim to Preah Vihear internationally, the domestic politic is riddled with promises of "reclaiming" lost territories, which also included just beneath the base of Preah Vihear, the Temple of Keo Svakiri. Let us not forget also that the Thais does not push forward a "joint management" of the "disputed area" alone, but also of Preah Vihear itself, which is reflected in the UNESCO demands to de-list the temple and have it jointly administered. But I do agree with Jame's view that Mr. Hun Sen is priority is completely skewed. --- Cham On Sat, Feb 12, 2011 at 10:02 AM, Savun <[email protected]> wrote: > James, > > > > Thank you for the over view.
