Border dispute is not a simple thing. Actually, this dispute between Thailand and Cambodia will drag for many years to come.
I just heard something from Sam Rainsy today. First of all, Sam Rainsy said that Hun Sen lost. Did he mean that Cambodians lost? Second of all, he said Thailand and Cambodia have tied, no one had won. Which one is Sam Rainsy position? First he said Cambodia lost. Then he said it was a tie. Then he proceed to say how he feels about it. Here is my two cents. If Sam Rainsy is really cares about his country, he should not have run away from his country. Today, he is hiding in his comfortable home. What kind of coward is that?
