Thai invade Cambodia Mr.Hun Xen won't go to UN but only 7 Thai invade Cambodia Thai goverment go to UN. Why dosen't Hun XEn care about his country and people like Thai do? I think Hun Xen afraid of losing his power than losing his Country and cambodians.

Why dosen't Hun Xen scream about 7 millions vietnamese in cambodia? It is nearly 40% of total cambodia population already.

God will punish Mr. Hun Xen and his family soon because of his sins that he and his family created in their life.

He and his family can't escape ethernity punishment in hell. He can't bribe God with his wealth at all. You killed alot of people, you make alot of people suffer and you know God do has eyes. God will punishing you for ethernity and lock you and your family in hell forever.

When you and your family die they can't bring that billions of dollars to bribe Hell at all.

Hun Xen, the people that you killed they come to you and your family every night.

Hun Sen forces everyone that work at TV station, Radio station and News paper to pro him only even he do very very wrong things for the Nation, Cambodia and Cambodian. The media in Cambodia must say nice thing about him even He killed and chop the whole Cambodia give to Thai or Viet. Today Mr. Hun Sen imports over 5 millions Vietnamese into Cambodia legally with make up to 40% of Vietnamese in total Cambodia population. Soon Vietnamese will declare Cambodia belong to them.

Hun Sen is killing Khmer nation. Hun Sen murdered over 5000 Cambodians at 1997. He is a criminal against Humanity. Hun Sen makes real Cambodians suffer everyday.

You have power and kill a lot of Khmer but you are powerless fighting against your own ageing everyday. Soon your time is over and you can't escape death at all. Your power, your wealth and the people that kiss your ass won't help you at that time.
