    Thank you very very much Mr. Sacrava for picturing the dream of our Khmer people!

    Could this dream of our Khmer people be materialized?

    If all Khmer are concern and want it to materialize so that we can save our country's independence and support our Khmer krom brothers human rights, then we all must write letters to urge all of our politicians to seek reconciliation for this purpose.

    Politicians are there to appeal us, so we must tell them what we want.
    Write letter to all the party who call themselves democrat and tell them to join forces, because this election is our only chance.

    Else we will continue to see Khmer monks and journalist and Unionist kill every month. As well, we will see new settlers into our land everyday.

    If politicians have no self interest, then they see our concern , and it will be their concern and they will find way to work together and bring democracy to Cambdodia.

    Dear Bun H.
    I am really grateful to your meaningful cartoon and the pride as a Khmer.

    What you have said is like me too....I have shared the same idea like you...We are Khmer, we have same blood and same struggle for the sake of Khmers...

    Let we struggle together to fight with those who are selfish, ignorant leaders and puppets of foreigners...

    Our struggle is not yet ended because the domination of Indochina is still hot through their installing government...we are still optimistic that those are installed by Yuan have Khmer mentality like Southern Yuan who were installed by US had Yuan mentality to unify their country...

    We are Khmer happy to work with all sides for the sake of Cambodia..

    Bravo Cambodia!

    Hey guys, let's face fact: they
    have failed to stick together
    with just 2 parties. Now you are
    asking them to united with 4
    parties? Are you kidding me?

    Alright, if this is going to work
    there must be some elements of
    trust and faith between them.
    Otherwise, it is imposible.
    And to have trust an faith you
    must not concern too much on
    how one approachs a problem. I
    mean you must not insist on a
    certain path to get from point A
    to point B. Let whoever decide,
    so long they get to point B. I hope
    you know what I mean. If you can
    live with that, the next step is to
    decide who shoud be PM, Deputy PM,
    Minister of this and that, LOL.
    And you can do that by drawing
    a lotto with a name, and let the
    game begin. Is that so hard?

    It is a very bad dream. The dream that never happened. I wish every one unite as in the catoon, but in reality is not possible.
    Amongst the 4, two are remarkable not worth to be united; Ranaridh and Thomico. It is not because they are the royal family, but because they are cunning persons.
    1- Ranaridh: corruption, manipulative, very weak leader, womaniser, selfish, incompetency, like to be served.....
    2- Thomico: lack of management, weak leader, too self-satisfaction, unclear policy...

    I agree, 4:38. Thomico is just a
    scumbab not worth anything, but
    Rananarith should be an asset.
    Despite the weakness you've listed
    above, he is the only one who can
    work with the commies around towns
    and not allowed hell to run lose
    in Cambodia. Without him, you are
    dead in the water. Accordingly,
    I see the Royalist party to be a
    better choice than the SRP or NRP
    for Cambodia, but fat chance
    against the CPP.

    Wherever and whenever there is a discord, or strife, in such Khmer community as a team, a group, a village, a Buddhist temple, or a political party, there will always be a call for UNITY or "Samakki" in Khmer. That call must come from decent Khmer people who have beautiful hearts and pure souls. In one word, the call sounds so great and so patriotic.

    Dear Sacrava,
    You and I live very closeby. I know you very well and you know me very well, too. But can you tell all KI readers how to achieve your dream? For me, I have always wished to see all the small parties in Cambodia, not 3 or 4 or 5, join forces in defeating the valet of Hanoi, the CPP. But somehow, in my sub-conscious mind, I still think that my wish, your desire and the dream of millions of decent Khmer people inside Cambodia and abroad will never be fulfilled.

    Why? And this is the reason why.

    1- Amongst Sam Rainsy, Kem Sokha, Norodom Ranariddh, Sisowath Thomico, Norodom Chakrapong, Mam Sonando, etc..., there will never be a common sense of purose. They want different things. They aim for different objectives. In other words, they have their own and differring interests. And there is no way whatsoever, zero chance, zero possibilty or zero probability where these guys can work together for the good of Cambodia and her people.

    2- For all the small parties to unite, they MUST DIG a 10km whole deep into the ground to BURY ALL THEIR EGO AND PERSONAL INTERESTS and concentrate on three things and three things only: (a) Cambodia, (b) Cambodia and (c) Cambodia, period. NO MORE AND NO LESS!!!

    3- They must be prepared to make their ultimate sacrifice no matter what. After that, millions of Khmer people inside and outside Cambodia will join them without either hesitation or resewrvation.

    Frankly speaking, I CAN'T SEE THAT HAPPEN IN A FORESEEABLE FUTURE. NOT BECAUSE OF YOU AND ME AND ALL THE KI MEDIA READERS, IT IS DEFINITELY BECAUSE OF THEM!!!

    Dear 4:11AM,
    What would you suggest we do? Keep on pointing finger and whining to enternity? Isn't that why someone has suggested that all of us write email and letter to them? Or is it that we should just pray for GOD to come down and bail us out of the Viet's yoke? Let's just say this - TALK is cheap, fair enough?

    If you're a true friend of Mr. Scarava, you should leave him alone and not discourage him and the rest of the readers with what you've said....Somehow I see the big difference in mentality between you and Mr. Sacrava. Yours is just lousy, backward. Leave yours at home and never display it in public again if you like Mr. Sacrava and Khmer people as your friends please?

    1- The solution is out there. We never criticize anybody without giving a solution, NEVER AND EVER.

    2- When an issue concerning either Cambodia or the Khmer people is raised in a public forum, it concerns everybody not just Sacrava and 4:21AM unless and until the TWO of you warn us beforehand not to touch it.

    To 4:40AM from 11:28AM
    (or 4:11AM above),

    In order to make you understand me better, I am obliged to cut and paste my first comment in this column which says "... in my sub-conscious mind, I still think that my wish, your desire and the dream of millions of decent Khmer people inside Cambodia and abroad will never be fulfilled. Why? And this is the reason why.
    1- Amongst Sam Rainsy, Kem Sokha, Norodom Ranariddh, Sisowath Thomico, Norodom Chakrapong, Mam Sonando, etc..., there will never be a common sense of purpose. They want different things.

NOT BECAUSE OF YOU AND ME AND ALL THE KI MEDIA READERS, IT IS DEFINITELY BECAUSE OF THEM."

    Dear 4:40AM,
    Frankly speaking, I've been through all regimes which have ruled over Cambodia since our country gained full independence from France on November 9, 1953. Being well equipped with my extended knowledge of Cambodia's post-Angkorian history, I can say to you that Cambodia, in dire political turmoil, in war sometimes with Thailand and Vietnam altogether, or in dark period of deep division, miraculously emerged victorious. Was it because Cambodia was rich and wealthy? NO. Was it because Cambodia had modern weaponry at its disposal? NO. Was it because Cambodia had 2,500 NGOs? NO. Was it because Cambodia had from 40 to 50 political parties competing with each other and forgetting to compete with the CPP as we've seen since the UN-supervised general election in 1993? NO. IT'S BECAUSE OF THE GENETICALLY SPECIAL BLOOD WHICH RUNS IN YOUR VEINS AND IN MINE: THE BLOOD OF THE KHMER RACE OF THE KHMER BLOOD.

    For BLDP, Funcinpec, SRP, HRP, KFP, NRP, KJFP or whateverP, or even the coalition of the whole lot, the best they can do is to parade to the outside world an illusory kind of democracy which unfortunately suits best to the CPP's strategy. Worse still, these parties give false hope to the overwhelming majority of Khmer people, the people like you and me who are really concerned about the destiny of our beloved country.

    The CPP, under heavy influence from Hanoi, never wants a real democracy for Cambodia. It wants only a window-dressing kind of democracy. Why? Because real democracy is a cyanide pill for communism, period.

    What should we do then? We should do the following:

    1- Try hard to convince people not to waste time, money and resources by supporting any one of the parties mentioned above. Why? Because their leaders are all crook. They do politics simply for their own interests, not for Cambodia and Khmer people.

    2- Keep a watchful eye for a true leader, a leader who has no fear, no greed, no ambition, no political party, no tendency for favouritism, nepotism, cronyism and the like, but somehow can lead us to victory over Hanoi and its valet, the CPP, in the form of PEOPLE'S POWER. That leader will come around one day in the near future and will deliver us from poverty, neglect, mistreatment, persecution, destitution, abuses and slavery.

    I think I have explained myself enough for today, haven't I.

    Good luck!!!

    Dear 10:02 AM - 10:13 AM,

    In plain in simple English, I've found your argument rather very very bizarre to say the least:

    1) While the Vietnamization of Cambodia is moving ahead at full speed, land, sea ceded and myriad of natural resources freely and almost completely exploited, yet you'd rather suggest to do nothing?

    2) Don't bother to do anything with the existing political parties because they are impossible?

    3) Nobody on this planet earth is perfect, yet you'd rather wait for the perfect Man to show up at Cambodia's door to lead?

    4) Don't worry, be happy, we'll be victorious - "IT'S BECAUSE OF THE GENETICALLY SPECIAL BLOOD WHICH RUNS IN YOUR VEINS AND IN MINE: THE BLOOD OF THE KHMER RACE OR KHMER BLOOD."?

    Who are you trying to kid?
    Please take your vision with you and GO TO HELL!
