    Cambodia have a lot to learn from
    Estonia. The estonians have keep
    their identity intact after 50 years of russian rule,since 1940 when the Nazis handed over Estonia to Russia. We hope KK can do the same.

    We, Cambodians, are very ashamed to have an uneducated prime minister like ah Hun Sen

    Reporters have rights to ask any question to high-rank officials, either prime minister, in the world.

    If ah Hun Sen (Kbal youn khloun Sat') told RFA reporters are insolent, so ah Hun Sen is very ILL-BRED and uneducated barbarian person

    3:37, khmer has no problem with
    our identy. We have lived with
    the French, Japanese, Vietnamese,
    Chinese,..., and Indian, so far
    we are still Khmer.

    As for Ah Khmer-Yuons in Vietnam,
    forget about it. No one can
    preserved their identity anywhere
    for over 200 years. They are as
    good as real Yuons right now.

    The reason for the very good development of Estonia in the last years is their membership in the EU since the beginning of 2004. This gave all the baltic states an enormous boost for the economies. The existence of the european community requires the understanding in the necessarity of a peaceful, friendly and tolerant relationship of all their countries - which identies their people might ever have. Most of these states have a long and very tragic war history.

    Think about it.
    Greetings from europe.

    Good point, that is why we must
    strive to form our own Union.
    We can start with Cambodia, Laos,
    and Vietnam. Then we can bring in
    birma by 2015, followed by China by
    2025, ... . And Estiona can help us
    achieved that too. You can called
    EAU (East Asian Union) if you like.

    3:27pm, I wish you luck for that kind of plans. But please, explain me as an foreigner, why not working together with Thailand, too? And from my point of view I think that China won't need to join such an EAU, they do have enough economic potential on their own.
    Compare this to latin amercia - the NAFTA is obviously not the best model for the rest of the continent. If you have one really big player, you have too fear that he is dominating the rest.
    One reason for the success of the EU has been the concept that every state has the same vote. And most of the decisions had to be made unanimously.
    In principle, that concept worked very well up the size of about 15 states - now with 27 states there is a discussion, who to simplifly some rules for an easier administration.

    That is a good question, 4:53. The
    problem is Thailand is too far
    richer than all of us. I believe
    the union might impacting their
    economy and life-style, so they
    might not go for it.

    As for China, their interest will
    be to keep indochina from being
    a proxy for any future potential
    enemy. If you believe history will
    repeat itself sometime in the
    future, then you want to avoid
    the past mistake. That is be
    divided and conquered. And China
    is a history freak. I mean here
    their policy is not to interfere
    with other nation affair, but
    when it come to history, they still
    picking on Japan for whitewashing
    some of the Nanjing massacre ... in
    their textbook. You believe that,
    hehehe.

    And yes, the nice thing about
    forming a Union after the EU is
    that we get to observe and learn
    the pro and con about them from
    the EU and reduce the cost of
    problem with trial and error on
    our own.
