China, Twitter and 20-Year-Olds vs. the Pyramids

I look at the young protesters who gathered in downtown Amman [Phnom Penh] today, and the thousands who gathered in Egypt and Tunis, and my heart aches for them. So much human potential, but they have no idea how far behind they are — or maybe they do and that’s why they’re revolting. Egypt’s [Cambodia’s] government has wasted the last 30 years — i.e., their whole lives — plying them with the soft bigotry of low expectations: “Be patient. Egypt moves at its own pace, like the Nile.” Well, great. Singapore also moves at its own pace, like the Internet.
We are committing a slow suicide the longer this CPP regime stays in power. We want a visionary, CAPABLE leader like SAM RAINSY!!!!!
ReplyDeletewhy did you alter this article ? i thought CPP and its supporters were fool , but now you are one of them ( whoever post this article )
ReplyDeleteNice story Khmer Democrat, but we only see that you want Civil war in Cambodia.
ReplyDeleteIs that true?
Does your boss Sam Rainsy wants civil war? if yes, don't vote Sam Rainsy in next election.
We don't want a 2nd Pol Pot era.
2:40PM, I don't think Sam Rainsy is a good visionary. He will make civil war and war with Vietnam, China and Thai.
ReplyDeleteEconomy will go down and it will be more than difficult to come back. It will be worst than Pol Pot era.
Hun Sen is using
ReplyDeletepolitical potential
to dictate Khmer people.
Hun Sen and Abhisit
are fool Khmer or
Thai people by sending seven Thais
to let Hun Sen catch
them.They both use
Thai and Khmer lives
just for their greedy political
games.
Do Khmer want to be
free or to be Yuon
Slaves.
Yes,Hun Sen is second Pol Pot because he said,"
closes the doors and beats the dogs"
All Khmer people are
dogs,Hun Sen is the
master.
He looks down Khmer
people as dogs.
Did you hear his
speech some where
in Cambodia after
up ring in Tunisia
and in Egypt?
He loves power,and
money;then he spe-
cially Vietnam.
May Gods free Khmer
from Hun Sen and
Vietnam.
