Re: Professor Keng Vansak: because Krong Kampuchea is a conglomerate of tribute payors, it has no real defined borders nor political authorities over its so-called national domain and constituency

My own opinion in parallel: in case of strenuous conflicts between
ideas, cultures and relationship, loyalties can be shifted by
incentives of power, sex and economics. Such a setup lacks organic
structure to carry out administrative and policy decisions of the
central figure which is the Khmer King himself. Time and evolution
would work against such a political arrangement.

I want to thank both Kem Sos of RFA and Professor Keng Vansak for
their ingenuous approach to problem solving of current issues of the
Khmer people. We may not be able to relive history, nor resolve issues
of the past. The understanding of history should provide people who
share the same culture a unique way to appreciate life's issues,
effectively live the present and have hope for a brighter future.

At this point, ex-professor of Lycee Sisowath Keng Vansak's comment on
Cambodia past seems to be more realistic than previous history books.
Along with him, I think that Empire has not been adequately organized.
Every Power came from general popular belief as the king was a livig
God. When their belief decreased following the court of many
centuries, people changed, the country surface decrease too. Nothing
they could do other than blaming each other group and fighting and
fighting untill outsiders come getting some parts in the North, then
some parts in the South, because they were more organized. When french
army arrived, everything has stopped right there.
For now, IMF, WB and other countries as China, Japan, South Korea are
coming to help putting Cambodia on her feet. We will see in 2010 how
Cambodia will change.
