I apologize, if my comment in responseto:http:whoisdeaply.wordpress.com, is out of the subject here:
I am one of Khmers, not Ly diep, living among some of you. As I click to check your webside, I found a short article painting Ly diep as... And two lines at the bottom of your short article you wrote, "Khmer People are the people who are united as always, but some neighbors, like Siams, Yuons, try to find every possible way to make Khmer argue/fight with oneanother." What I want to say to you is that, you should not shift your total blame to neighbors. It's Khmers themselves who are actually not united as you claim them to be. And don't be mistaken by thinking that I'm not as much Khmer as you are. I am, but I don't want Khmers to fail seeing their own problems. If Khmers are really and patriotically united, NO one can break Khmers apart.
I know that the whole of your team consists of Hun Sen's lickspittles, lacking patriotism as real Khmers. Why don't you take a good look at what your Hun Sen and his comrads have done so far? This is an account of recent Khmer's factual history that all of us have witnessed with our own eyes. If you can see the recent facts, you can see that other Khmer rulers in previous regimes had done the same things: For their personal interests and greed, they run to Siems or Yuons, or Chens to help them in exchange of paying back to them tons of debt. As I say other Khmer rulers, I would want to exclude Lon Nol, who actually was the scapegoat that took tons of responsibility to solve the problems of Prince Sihaouk's reckless acts which leads to today mess for Khmer younger generation.
So you say! If no supernatural leader like KIng family no one can bring ennemies inside!??
I am so tired about fighting.I won't do it just keep talking.Talk this year no good will talk next year we have anything proof.
we want korean technological skills in cambodia. of course, we want japan's as well and the USA and the EU, autralia, etc. and cambodia waits for no one, really! we got to start somewhere, somehow, really; after all, nobody was born with skill attached to their imbellical cord, you know. we all have to learn to gain skills, etc... so, cambodia and khmer people is no exception, really. don't be so selfish and evil toward cambodia. there are more to cambodia than you and i, really! wake up already! god bless cambodia.
i like korea. korean/khmer friendship forever!
All Asian Nations should become one just like European Nations, having a one currency "Euro" as well as having a common goal and common interest. Let say if one country is getting into trouble then the rest will come together as one and help that nation. All nations need to come together to create a common law to protect everyone equally and that everyone is “equally important” does matter who they are or where they come from. such law may includes; love, compassion, share, respect and collaboration!.If Asian people don't look for ways to unite, we will be wiped out by other nation just like that and it is happening now to some countries right in front of your eyes already. Asian Nations, you all should be smarter by now, too. I give you one question why do European Nations create a common goal and common interest? It is because they don’t want the super power nations like Russia, China or USA one day decided to attack them. You see , their aim is to secure each other from being such attack. If our Asian Nations don't prepare into this position ASAP then who knows we be going back to World War 1 and world war 2 and this means we are (in the 21st century) getting dumber and dumber. We Asian nations must learn from the past mistakes and turn it into a positive learning outcome! Don't try to get outsiders for help on how to build the relationships between Asian Nations because base on human instinct no one nation want other nation to be better off than them in any way, simple as! Otherwise they wouldn’t have this Englo Saxon in the first place. Englo Saxon includes; England, Canada, USA, Aust, NZ, and more, all have common goal and common interest. Asian Nations need to do the same and be smarter by now and to achieve this, first we all need to respect each others' boundary, country and culture I’m far far away from home, I love you all, cheers
