i know, and all scam rainsy and his loser party think about is calling mr. hun sen dictator, etc! shame on these people for not setting their political agenda straight! leaders should compete against one another to win the people's vote, not attacking each other, really! hey, people aren't stupid anymore, they can see for themselves who's good and who's bad, you know! they don't need scam rainsy and his loser party to murky up the water, ok!

In a democratic nation, the fairness of competition , economically or politically, should be taken into account. In Cambodia, however, the case is drastically different because the leaders are unwillingly to accept democratic principles.

Cambodia is a democratic country? Not even close. Cambodia is a joke, it is government by the principle of "bullets to the head". Hun Sen words is the law. His words and speeches are repeatedly on national TV every day throughout the year, causing fears and conflicts and accusing the nation of traitors and criminals. With leaders like Hun Sen, who needs Pol Pot?
