For God's sake, why?

Sihanouk had managed to destroy it all. Sihanouk had destroyed patriotism; Sihanouk had destroyed almost 2 millions of Khmer (including Viet, Chinese, Cham and many other inhabitants of Cambodia).

To serve the Viet/YUON's interest, Sihanouk had managed to produce a boatload of worthless offspings specifically Rannaridh (Sihanouk the Playboy Jr), and Sihamoni (Sihanouk woman's side, the queer Prince Jr).
Even as almost to his last breath, Sihanouk still manages to serve his master - the Viet/Yuon!
Sihanouk had managed to crack a few eggs in the process to make the "killing Fields" looked good: killing a couple of his own offsprings.

And yes, Sihanouk had managed to CRUSH khmer's spirit once and for all in favor of the Viet race by way of the very same infamous "Killing Fields"...

As Cambodian/Khmer, need we say more?
And For God's sake, Sihanouk, why???

For our beloved motherland, Cambodia, may almighty God save you from the annexation by the Viet and from all of the Vietnamization processes.

Get Sihanouk to back out of the not-so-secret deal he made with Hun Sen.

Get Sihanouk to denounce the Viet's vision of annexation of Cambodia.

Get Sihanouk back to be the father of the Nation by befriending with the West and the outside world, now that Vietnam has been re-united/unified.

Get Sihanouk back to be what he once was but with less or none of the Vietnamese and/or the Chinese.

After all, Sihanouk had been flipfopping all his life politically and after all, what is that humongous Embassy near Watt Phnom built for?

That's, in my honest opinion, how we can solve our beloved motherland's problem otherwise Khmer will never ever rid of the Viet's new and systematic yoke of colonialism.

No one political party will never ever be able to save Cambodia without Sihanouk whether it be united or otherwise!!!

I must congratulate to the artist who has drawing this significant picture.
It is true that Hun sen is very confused between Conservation and development.
1-Conservation can also provide income to the national economy. Example. Without conservation of this Angkor wat from thousand of years, Cambodia wouldn't received easy income from tourist. In some countries, their leaders have conserved their forests to attrack tourist monies ( some trees who have exceeded 1000 years olds ). In some countries, their leaders have conserved their national treasures as animals like Kiwi, panda, etc.. and etc..
2-Development can provide jobs and national economy but can also provide negatif affects to national economy, destruction of national eco-system etc.. Off course, we need development but this development must go hand in hand with social development and with respect to the environment.
This drawing can provide a wake call to all greedy leaders who wanted to develop without caring the important part of National icon.
