When I see the US Embassador joins in the parade... this is an unpresendented and milestone for those who's waiting for this moment, and yet, my friends, this is an abslutely rather strong message about the reality of our country. Moreover, this could be an agent of changing Cambodia.

It is time for Cambodian to see. With these issues in mind Cambodians shall rise and vote them out in 2008. These types of the issues can be a good campaign for the all parties to solve and give honest citizens a change to rise to the level of our south Asian countries. Remember our nation was ways better than them since Khmer Empire.
Let's show them in 2008.

I say let this imbecile Viet troller bitch that pretends to be Khmer speaking for Khmer @10:56 PM and @1:08 AM runs out of air and drops dead miserably because no Khmer in the right mind would never ever derogatorily calls Khmer names "Ah Khmer-Yuon" throughout KI-Media and no Khmer in the right mind would never ever be swayed or influenced by this Viet troller bitch
nonsensical, trash talking and writing.
