Thank you for such a meaningful poem. the poem digs my hurtful memory of phmon dorngrek crossing out.when i was seven i was one of those who experienced unforgetable tragedy conducted by babarian thais.The tragedy can be compared to the acts of Nazis Hitler to Jews in World war II. i think the ministry of education should put the content of this poem in national curriculum in order for our children rememer it and claim what khmer lost(lives of innocent khmers,land,cultural property...etc) to the babarian thais back. One more thing, the government of cambodia should not care about the words of Obama's administration that cambodia government forceful deportation of Uirghur or other ethnic imigrant to their countries. becuase when the thais cruelly commited to innocent khmers, never American condemned thailand but thailand has been still good friend of America. This is just a game that created by the America to satisfy Islamic countries that America illigally invaded. i dont think America would care about if those uirghur poeple were not Islams.What do you think Mr Obama?

About time Cambodian should get on their asses and fight for freedom INSTEAD of siting on their asses writing meaningless poems. It is a sign of weakness......this is waht Cambodian is all about and always will be? No wonder! Viet Cong. installed their border marks in Cambodian sovereignty without wasting a bullet. get a life!
