> *Let us take a look at factual situation in Cambodia.* > *Many Cambodians have been telling the world how proud they are about their own country and heritage. Nothing is wrong with that. Unfortunately, things would be very different when one looks at the facts. * *Let us just take a look at some of them. * *They are saying that they are very proud of their nation. They would do anything to defend their own country. The history shows clearly what Cambodians have been doing. They go to this place and that place bringing wars against their own people of different factions in their own country. It's not just the Khmer Rouge or Vietnamese invasion. The history of Cambodia has been like that since we can remember. Sihanouk was a precious king of Cambodia. Yet, he still brought his country into a ditch. It was not USA, Vietnamese, China Thailand who brought querrels to Cambodians. IT IS THE CAMBODIANS THEMSELVES WHO HAVE DONE IT. It's even worse yet when they blame all of those things on other nnations like USA and Vietnam. Today is in the year of 2013. Cambodians still blame other nations for their own illnesses. Cambodians are still fighting each other in their own country. * *In America, we live in a free world under the laws of the land. There are differences among ourselves. Yet, we find a way to join together when it comes to defending our nation. We may disagree about programs and many others. Yet, we come together to keep our country strong. One of things that we can be proud of is the ability to set our difference aside for the benefit of our nation. * *Unfortunately, that doesn't exist in Cambodia. It is because the Cambodian people cannot put their country befoer their differences. Each factions always want power. That's why Cambodians cannot have peace among themselves. Let us face it. Cambodia was far better than Vietnam in the late 80s. They had opportunities and cooperation from the international community to help. Yet, Cambodians could not have their national pride for their whole nation. They continued to fight one another. And they claim that they want to bring true democracy to their own country. Cambodians cannot have true democracy as they wish if they are still fighting. * *Today, we are still seeing this same situation exist. Cambodians still divide themselves. They even allowed outsiders to dictate what they do. They believe that outsiders can bring prosperity. That's a bad persception. The Cambodian people must stand on their own streangth. Then they can utilize the helps to help themselves. * *As we've seen lately, Cambodians still ask other nations to help them. What kind of people are they? Can they help themselves? Perhaps not. Cambodians still fight each other for power. Some use power to suppress others. Some others blame their own Cambodian people for treason etc..... How can they achieve peace and prosperity when they still stand on their own individual ground and put their whole nation behind them. That's the problem. * *Here is an example. CNRP is in good position to win today, tomorrow, or in the future. Yet, they want it now by using the uprising. They call it a peace demonstration. Do they really know that that peace demonstration shows as a civil disobedience? Civil disobedience is a sign of protest, unhappiness, uncooperative etc..... These are negative things that keeps Cambodia from moving forward. CNRP boycot the national assembly is a mistake. They could have collected the anger of the people for a future boost in the later ballot box. Unfortunately, their power hunger urges them to act now. They want the power now. That's wrong. If they insist of doing this, they will loose. And they will loose big. *
