Yep, and more importantly, don't
ReplyDeleteforget to remember the CAUSE of
that as well. Otherwise, it will
certainly to repeat itself
interestingly fast. Furthermore,
don't forget that the residual
land mines are still claiming 500-
800 victims anually and will
persisted for a while longer.
Hmm ... having said that, perhaps
they should also demonstrated how
land mine blown all your limps
all over the place as well.
You are rigth 7:31 wath cause that to the khmer people? who and who which people loved, respected, believed and sacrified ... for at that time?
ReplyDeleteAfter all, the Khmer Rouge are our fellow Cambodians, are they not? We should have realised full well by now that hate and anger had led them to slaughter their fellow Cambodians, yet we continue to nurture hate and angeer. It is no good for Buddhism when Buddhist monks give to their blessings to such hate and anger,
ReplyDeleteCan loving kindness (metta) or agape have a tiny room to grow in our hearts at all, I wonder.
LAO Mong Hay, Hong Kong
That is a great questions, 9:11,
ReplyDeletebut first a brief view on how
the tension was built up.
And, the way I see it is when
the French foresee that they can't
win in Indochina, they should
just gave everyone independent and
get the fuck outta there. Instead,
they stay behind to bug Vietnam
with all sort of bullshits such
as divided them into North and
South. They should've just gave
everything back to the Viet Minh
that defeated them. I don't know
why they don't just do that and
done with it. Tell me if that is
not stupid. Maybe they were ashame
of losing face, so they wanted
to get back at Vietnamese by making
them killing each other, who know?
But as far as I am concerned, there
is no bonus for the French in my
book for building a time bomb in
the area.
Okay, now that vietnam is divided,
the US Evil Empire want to keep it
that way because they think the
communist might grow and screw
them in the arse. The Vietnamse
was going to vote democratically
to be ruled by Hanoi or by Saigon,
but the US blocked it because they
don't want to take the risk. I mean
WTF? What right does the US had
to block such a democratic process?
And that pissed off many
Vietnameses (both North and South).
And started the Vietnamese Civil
War.
And as a result, this put us in
the bad spot, and what did we
do? We chose to side with the
Evil Empire that shouldn't be
in the region in the first place,
and double-crossed our lifelong
trading partner (China). Does
that answer your question?
I'm interested to find out if the show includes any scene with international affairs.
ReplyDeleteInternational affair won't do much good if the internal affair is sucked.
ReplyDeleteThe situations today under Hun Sen is similar to the situation under Pol Pot. Yes Hun Sen and Pol Pot graduated from the same school.
Hun Sen cannot abandon his old habit of being a KHMER ROUGE.
Do you mean international affair in Cambodian attrocities such as B52-Carpet Bombing, Chinese looting Khmer resources, Vietnamese invasion (killing and looting Khmer resources, K5 plan, illegal border encroachment, etc)?
ReplyDeleteNot a chance, yet!
What they are doing right now is pointing more fingers at Khmer. They are continuing to do this until all the Khmer younger generations absorb that all the events that had happened in Khmer history were all Khmer leaders that did to their own people.
Of course, except Ah Chau Kanh Chas Yeakheney!
Noope, Hun Sen never went to any
ReplyDeleteschool with Pol Pot. It was Ah Sam
Rainsy who attendeded school in
France with Pol Pot. They both
can speak French, and they both
torture people as long as they are
alive.
Com on neak Yuan_Khmer 1:40Am.
ReplyDeleteYou just admitted you are Yuan but a citizen of Khmer just like Hok Lundi. Million eyes reading it and the more you write the more people around the world know what happens in Cambodia were/are Yuan who crated Pol Pot and created Hun Sen caused the troubles.
You are purely Yuan my friend, yep :)))
1:40 AM this guy is really a moron, there was the Killing Fields in Khmer Krom than there was the Killing Fields in Cambodia with methods adopted from Hanoi to use in Khmer.
ReplyDeleteThey want to blame Khmer for everything and to indoctrinate that into Khmer children's. Ah Jen-Yuon nes kir mohar ah pler mean. Ah pler or should I say ah mork.
Fluke's Boy, Yuon-Khmers are not
ReplyDeletehere to make trouble, they are
here to protect Khmer Prople
from the Sam Nazi's abuses only.
Your argument is baseless with no support.
ReplyDeleteKhmer people don't need a protection from Yuan if the Yuan just stop creating more troubles.
Are you one of an ethic Yuan?
