To say that Pol Pot, Hun Sen, Sihanouk, Sam Rainsy, and every Khmer politicians are all the same and hopeless is like saying every student who has ever applied and finished a university, from Colombia, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Cambridge, Oxford, and all the rest are all the same.
Each person is different not only in quantity of reasons, but quality of thoughts. The thoughts are shaped by history and philosophy and education. What is Hun Sen's background and philosophy? He is an honorary PhD of Hanoi, a student of communism, brutality, dictatorship and learned from his experience gain through power of suppression tactics and instilling fear and subservience from his subordinates - not respect because of his character. What about other potentials such as Rainsy? Rainsy was educated in France, in western thoughts of ethics and philosophy of human rights, dignity and equality of men. His experience and travel throughout the world of democratic country allowed him to examine and understand the underlying process of democracy, human dignity and human worth to equal protection, freedom and pursuant of happiness and life. Did not spend his time making history and desensitizing himself to brutal crackdowns and killing of opponents and dissenting opinions. So are they all the same? Ask a person who knows nothing about human character and experience, but has only been able to experience in his life one dug-in world, a well of ignorance and misery - he will surely tell you yes! They're all the same! Outside of the well is the same, the water in the rice field taste stale as the water in his dirty well. It is dark outside as it is in his hole - for he can imagine no further that his diminutive inexperience mind can conceived!
