Friends,
I am sad to learn this morning that war between Cambodia and Thai has been erupted.
I am sad to learn that Khmer people will suffer of this unnecessary fighting because of the ignorant of theirs leaders to solve the border disputed area by going directly to the UN or the international court.
I am sad that many Cambodian families and kids will be displaced from their homes with little belongings on the back. Remember that we had aready suffered of this kind of hell WAR because of the Vietnameses and now because of the Thais.
Two of our compatriot soldiers have been killed. Our soldiers have captured 10 Thais soldiers. And you know what? Our fucked-head ministers propose to release those soldiers if Thailand demanded. The ministers asked that those Thais to be well treated while Khmer people are mistreated by these ministers. Khmer leaders are always very kind to the foreigners and very savage toward Khmers.
I have nothing against the fact that we have to release those Thais but at least they have to pay the costs of the dead of Khmer soldiers as I know the families of these two brave soldiers will live in extreme poverty with no help from the government. What will be their future? The images of the funerals of the Khmer soldiers died in the battle fields which I and other students attended in Ampil Camp to support the suffering of the families come to my mind. The widows cried of the dead hero husbands, the small children, standing in front of the burned dead body fathers, didn't know what was happening.... What a terrible souvenir!
The images of the handicapped Khmer soldiers who are obliged to beg in the streets throughout the country to survive are profoundly shocking each time I visit Cambodia. Who care about them and their families once the country is not in war? No one and it is surely not the current Khmer leaders (some are more interested in eliminating Khmer intellectuals than to protect the nation's interests). Some days back I read a very interesting analyze about the behavior of the Khmer leaders (see the link below). Are they really Khmers?

I am really touched about this useless war that during the whole day conference I had here in San Diego, I was not able to concentrate....
God bless Cambodia!
