Hey you forgot to mention that Hornam Hong sue SR in France. HorNam Hong won the defamation case there. French court order SR to pay HNH 1 Euro, symbolic of SR guilty.

No body give a dam about Sam Rainsy any more. All countries and diplomats are sick and tire of his none stop trouble making. Why can't he just play by the rule like everyone else. There are many other opposition leaders like Yim Sovann and Son Chay who got big mouth and criticize the government all the time, but they are smart enough to not break any law that give the government excuse to sue them.

So if you are smart and play by the rule, it is ok to be an opposition in Cambodia and still can do your work.

Oh Ohh...hahahaha..
It's so ridiculious..!!
How come you haven't mentioned many key dates that Sam Rainsy committed crimes and begged Hun Sen to help to get royal pardon??

1994: How about in 1994, Rainsy travelled at night to see Hun Sen in Takeo and begged then 2nd PM to help him when Funcipec sacked him from the party, MP and Minister of Finance?? U didn't mention that.

2006: How about Rainsy sent an apology letter to Hun Sen in 2006, admitted that he, Rainsy, was wrong about the border issues, he took it personal to against the Hun Sen. He also he admitted he was stupid to play a suicidal politics.

2008: How about Rainsy begged Hun Sen at the Phnom Penh Airport to get some committee' chairs in the parliament?? U didn't mention that?

There are many other key dates for Rainsy u didn't mentioned.

I just help to remind some only.

He, Rainsy, is not capable of leading the opposition party in Cambodia anymore.

Sam Rainsy must take Hun Sen to court;  Failure to prosecute Hun Sen will result in more innocent Khmer peoples being murder.

Sam Rainsy must not give Hun Sen another option to pick to escape justice.

Which one is better?

1. Hun Sen Death Squad (The Cambodian Organize Crime) go to federal prison for life in the United States for terrorism on March 30, 1997 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia.

2. Sam Rainsy get his jail terms drop.

Option 1 will benefit all innocent Khmer peoples and Khmer national.

Option 2 will benefit Sam Rainsy and the Cambodia People's Party Hun Sen Khmer Rouge Regime (Hun Sen Death Squad, assassins, murderers, killers, human rights abusers and land grabbers...).

The last time, Sam Rainsy picked was option 2.

I remember Sam Rainsy said "I'm not doing this for Sam Rainsy, I'm doing this for Khmer national."

Sam Rainsy, please do a favor for the Khmer national, take Hun Sen to court.

I am hopping that Sam Rainsy pick the right option this time so that the same thing will not happen again ever.

Sam Rainsy must not allow Hun Sen to continue to kill more innocent Khmer peoples.

Sam Rainsy is in a position to take Hun Sen to court because Hun Sen was trying to assassinate him on March 30, 1997 Grenade Attack (Terrorism).  This is a rare opportunity.  Only victims have the power.  I wise, I have this power to bring Hun Sen to federal court in the United States.

This is a million times better than spend hundreds of million of dollars to hire a private military contractor (Black Water, now XE etc...) to bring justice to criminals (Hun Sen Death Squad and the Khmer Rouge Regimes) who is responsible for killing almost two million innocent Khmer peoples and counting.

Who ever charge, prosecute, convict and sentence Hun Sen is a Khmer hero.  You will be saving a lot of innocent Khmer peoples life.  Because Hun Sen is responsible for murders his political opponents, leaders of the free trade union, journalists and innocent Khmer peoples.

Hun Sen is the most powerful person in Cambodia.

Sam Rainsy have the power to send the most powerful person in Cambodia (Hun Sen) to federal prison for life in the United States.
