fug vietnam. What do they know what about restraint?
They should restraint themself from invading neighboring countries. fugen hipocrit youn.
They are very cunning.
Non sense is coming out from Vietnam's mouth! Vietnam does not even allow protest or any kind of free speech. Khmer Krom conducted peaceful protests for freedom to practice Theravada Buddhism, but the Khmer Krom monks were violently defrocked, tortured and imprisoned by the Vietcongs. Khmer-Krom farmers protested for the return of their farmlands, the Vietcongs authorities beat them up, tortured, and imprisoned them such as Mr. Huynh Ba in Khleang(Soc Trang), Mrs. Tran Thi Trung (or Chau) in Preah Trapang (Tra Vinh), and Mrs. Neang Chanh Thon in Mot Chrouk (An Giang).
Vietnam cannot be role model for anything until Vietnam cleans up its backyard mess--violating Khmer Krom's basic rights!!!
Children of Gov. Son Kuy!
Damn Vietnam! What the thug from Vietnam know about democracy?
Using the demonstration in Thailand to put its troops at the border of Khmer-Siem, what is this fuckinbg Vietnam thinking? Khmers are not stupid you fucking Yuon parasites? You put your troops in Thai-Khmer border is to prevent Khmers from following Red shirts.

That's right, Ah Vietnam know nothing about democratic, what can Vietnam say when themselves can't event let any of her people protest.
