This is a very impressive book to read. it tells all about the 5-yr war between Khmer and Khmer fighting each other to their death.

But now, Viet armies are every where in Cambodia. Are Khmer solders under Ah Chhke HUN SEN dare to do any thing to protect the country or protect their innocent peoples ????????????

I doubt it that they will.

The problems with Cambodians is that they could not, cannot and will probably not be able to set aside their differences, jealousy and desire for individual power in order to work together, for the sake of the very country and people they all claim to love, with a spirit of forgiveness and apparent desire to hold no grudge against each other.

Look at the 1970 coup d'etat against Norodom Sihanouk and his desire to get back to power and revenge Lon Nol by joining with the Khmer Rouge whom he always hates. His action was then not for the Cambodian people, but simply for himself and his family. In hindsight he should have retired from politics then because though he is considered now to be a King Father of Cambodia, a title to be coveted; he knows deep down in his heart that he was part of the machine that created the killing fields and devastating destruction in Cambodia. Thus in reality a choice to go into retirement when overthrown in 1970 could have served him better in the history book.

Lon Nol and prince Sirimatak were also very short-sighted in staging the coup against Sihanouk since they should have predicted that the then prince Sihanouk would join hands with the Khmer Rouge and the North Vietnamese since that would be the only choice for him to do because of his desire to come back to power and his close association with China.

Pol Pot and his group, when in power, went completely berserk changing everything around and killing to ensure that his regime under him would be in power for ever. Like any other leaders before him, Cambodia is always the last item on the priority list in their mind.

The involvement of Hun Sen, Chea Sim and Heng Samrin with the Vietnamese in the removal of Mr. Pen Sovann is another clear case of power and greed among the Cambodian leaders at the expense of Cambodia, the country we all love.

Look at what Hun Sen is doing right now to Cambodia and you can see clearly that the premier serves his interest, family and clans first before anything else. He will destroy the country and her people, if necessary, in order to hang on to his power.

He is definitely willing to go to another civil war if people revolt against him and obviously he can always call on his Vietnamese friends for help to cling on to his power.

I hope Cambodia will one day finds a truely nationalistic leader capable of working together with ohter Cambodians of all political tendencies in a very friendly and cooperative manner with a joined intention and desire to put Cambodia's priority, her people and her destiny as the top items in the priority list.

Do we still have time left for that leader? I invite all of you to answer this question.

For me, I can only hope that we still have time.

This article makes me remind my all time enemy : A Chhkè Sihanouk. Because of that animal I lost all my family now.

I also hate Sam Rainsy as he supports that damned king.

Before his death, I wish A Chhkè Sihanouk as much suffering as my late parents, have experienced.

Now we set the date March 18 to topple Hun Sen regime. Please, stand up together in Phnom Penh on that date.

The Young KHMER REPUBLIC at 4:49 AM,

Your Lon Nol was a complete idiot who clung on to power even though the Khmer people in the Khmer Republic controlled areas voted him out in the presidential election of 1972.

It was Mr. In Tam who legitimately won the election, but your so-called power and sex-hungry marshal Lon Nol refused to step down even though the students had made several protests against his very corrupted regime. Your Lon Nol's regime has nothing to brag about as it is even more corrupt than Sihanouk's regime.

In addition your Lon Nol also married a very young Chinese Cambodian lady even though he suffered from stroke.

Your Lon Nol has no credibility in my judgement and I will make sure that his bad side of the story will be in Cambodian history and you can count on that.

Lon Nol did not even want to leave his office. It was the Americans who tried to get him out knowing that he is a useless piece of shit!

Dear Mr. 5: 45 AM,
Thank you so much for telling me that you are bias of the KHMER REPUBLIC,
Please watch your laNguage of your ancestoral ruthlessness ,now you identified youireslf as A YOUNG Communist KHMER ROUGES .
KHMER REPUBLIC had nothing much with LOK LON NOL married a young Chinese Cambodian wife nor corrupt, LOK IN TAM was our hero as well as Prince SIRIK MATAK along with the KHMER REPUBLIC Military and her civil Officials we all were just struggling to defend our territory from the aggression of your Vietcong and North Vienmaese allies and I strongly hope you are not living in the United States of America who supported the KHMER REPUBLIC to fight you as KHMER ROUGES siding with SIHANOUK , VIETCONG and our Histrocal Enemy, the Vietnamsese .
I personally am ashamed for your ancestors who gave you a wrong birth as a blind man without the disciplines of your parents.
With My Best wishes to you and your patrents who did not realize what their son got influent by our
enemies

7:04 AM,

It sounds like you are the only few Khmers who love their country and the rest who happens to disagree with you about the Khmer Republic is all bad, either being in love with Vietnamese or with the Thais.

Remember that if you can claim to love Cambodia, any Cambodian can claim the same. You are not the only person who loves your country and the country does not just belong to your group of Khmer Republic.

I was in Cambodia just like you in the 70s and I am still in Cambodia and I don't like the Khmer Republic at all, just to let you know and don't tell me that I am a Cambodian with a Vietnamese head!

Could you tell me about the invasion of your North Vietnamese and Vietcong Allies during the 70's ..and personally I praise you up for your perfect Englih language for the person who lives in Cambodia using the words "LON NOL WAS A PIECE OF SHIT" like American Street talks or simply PHEASA AH CHAKRAPOTR AMERIK which was named by your king SIHANOUK .

11:36 AM,

I like to entertain you all the times since you love to insult people believing in yourself that you have been properly taught to be polite by your great parents and grandparents.

Good for you. Make sure you don't curse me in your heart because it will make a fool out of yourself and also make you into a real hypocrite.

I don't like Mr. Hun Sen and his government very much, but because of people like you who always think of yourself as Khmer and those with different ideas from you as Vietnamese, I guess I should perhaps consider joining Mr. Hun Sen since I have been considered or called Youn anyway.

Do you think I give any thought on how you consider me?

You can call me by whatever you want, Mr. properly raised young Khmer Republic, but you should be careful since you have implied that you were raised properly when you were young.

Let me remind you that in 1973 your Khmer Republic of Lon Nol and Sirimatak ordered his soldiers to shoot at the law students and kill a number of innocent student protesters who were very unhappy with the way thing was going in Cambodia under your beloved Marshal Lon Nol.

How about his younger corrupted and ruthless brother by the name of Lon Non who served as his assassin to carry out all the dirty orders to kill innocent students and civilians who protested against his government. Don't forget that Lon Non used many soldiers under him to carry out not the state order, but his own brother's personal orders to eliminate the oppositions.

How is your hero Lon Nol different from any other bad Cambodian leaders?

Also many Khmer Republic soldiers were underpaid very badly and the pay was usually late whereas your Lon Nol, Sirimatak and your chief of the army, the corrupted Sosten Fernandes had so much money, especially the very corrupted Sosten Fernandes who deposited millions of dollars in the foreign bank accounts.

You can lie to other people, but you can't convince me about your Khmer Republic. I tell you again that I hate your Khmer Republic as it was only better than the Khmer Rouge regime and that is it.

Remember it is not hard to beat the Khmer Rouge since they are at the bottom of the pit anyway when it comes governing and running a country.

Hope you enjoy reading my reply.

Don't curse me, Mr. perfectly raised young Khmer Republic.

The Khmer Republic regime can only beat the Khmer Rouge regime since it lasted for 5 years whereas the Khmer Rough regime lasted only 3 years 8 months and 20 days.

Poor corrupted Khmer Republic!

Dear LOK KHMUOY AH NET KHMAUCH or LOK 1:58PM,
I , again appreciated your statements revealing more deeply your back-ground and identity.
First you know so much the KHMER REPUBLIC Internal Affairs, you were so happily observing the events of the 70's within closely our KHMER REPUBLIC Administration especially just sit down and watch the clashes between the KHMER REPUBLIC and their LAW STUDENTS? Yes, you sucessfuly masterminded the LAW STUDENTS?(as you claimed) and you carried direct orders from your Vietcong , North Vietnamese troop, KHMER ROUGES and SIHANOUK to desroy our new society as a Vietcong Agent.
What happened to KOY PECH, SAN THAT , THOU THON and IM YOU HAY plus LON NON were they all brain-washed by you as the masterminder and Vietcong Agent.
Yes, We accept the facts of our corruptions and new Baby Born Administration but beside your Vietnamese , Vietcong , Khmer Rouges and SIHANOUK did tremendously a great job along with you to defeat us as a Young KHMER REPUBLIC.
We just want to assure you and your Allies that we had the right to defend our KHMER Land from your aggression and without your SIHANOUK it would be difficult to let you infiltrate into our society since the rearly 60's.
At the time mainly , we were fighting your Vietcong and North Vietnamese Troops inside our own house .
We did not want to create the war nor impeach SIHANOUK but the same thing over and over again we had to defend and fight your Allies.
Lastly, I personally admitre you that your English is very very Super perfect , your first statement you cursed us like AH YUON YUKAUNG BATH PSA or Gangsters in America you even cursed A PIECE OF SHIT ! and NO doubt that you are NOT KHMER but you have been acting so well skillfully in our family.
And please accept my honest congratulations to you for taking aprt in destroying our KHMER REPUBLIC and Country as well.
From The Young KHMER REPUBLIC
PS; LOK KHMUOY AH NET KMHAUCH ( ANET KHMER ) and LOK 1:58PM, every time you attack us as KHMER REPUBLIC but you never condemned your own Vietcong , Vietnamese , KHMER ROUGES and SIHANOUK Allilies and you know why you did a fine job .
