Toasting good time in Phnom Penh ... with an autocratic ruler who was a former Khmer Rouge soldier

I don't like Hun Sen and his family.
But Khmer resistants against Lon Nol were called Khmer Rouge. Many of them wer also cheated and forced to be endoctrinated by the Khmer Rouge Ideology.
If Hun Sen was a fanatic KR and killed innocent people at that time, he deserves this derogative name...
I think Hun Sen is better than the high French educated Keat Chhon, who was an advisor of Pol Pot.

So far he is a dictator and a multi-millionnaire.

This morning Hun Sen was so happy that he broke Funcinpec into 9 smaller Funcinpec and declare that he is tricky guy!

Anyway,
Even though some royalists made some mistakes, how can we exclude them from politic?

Sisowat had about 40 registered wives and 300 concubines. Norodom also had 36 registered wives and hundred concumbines. King Monivong has 200 concumbines. Soramarith has 20.
Sons and grandsons of Sisowat and Norodom have about 5 to 10 registered wives.
Daughters and grand daughters of Sisowat and Norodom have about 3 to 4 husbands.

In conclusion, there are more than 2,000 royal family members.

They are not going to give up easily.
