If justice has eyes

If justice has eyes, Thailand’s aggression will be stopped by the United Nations; however if the history repeats itself, Thailand will violate any laws mandated by the United Nations and by the world court. It appears that the claiming for Preah Vihear by Thailand is not about whether Thai’s leaders know and understand that it is wrong, but it is about the struggling to maintain power by certain individuals and or groups in Thailand. In order to keep their power Cambodia seems to be a perfect place to divert millions Thais who have been very unhappy with the Thai government in the past few years if not decades. Why Cambodia?

First, Cambodia has been viewed by many democratic countries that she has been ruled by a cruel dictator (a naughty boy said some Thai leaders) for many years; and it is plagued by corruptions. Who would express sympathy for such a country and its leaders? Some Cambodian politicians may think that their time is coming; all they need is just a spark of fire.

Second, comparing to the almighty Thailand, Cambodia is militarily weak and its ragtag soldiers are tired of fighting and mentally worn out. Some people are betting that in 24 hours Thai soldiers will be sitting in Their M113 tanks at Chamkar Mon eating Vietnamese Pho bowls. A few people may have been licking their chopsticks hoping the Thai would set up a puppet government so that they can become leaders of the next Thai-backed regime in Phnom Penh.

Third, provoking a fight with other neighboring countries such as Burma, Malaysia or Laos (which is heavily influenced by Vietnam) will surely make those Thai leaders lose their shirts and pants and perhaps their country. Hence, Cambodia is a perfect scapegoat.

The so-called “yellow shirt” people may be used as a tool or as an excuse by the current Thai’s administration to invade Cambodia to take over Preah Vihear and its surrounding. Why not? The Thai government may want to kill three birds with one stone—pleasing the yellow shirt (and the King), taking over Preah Vihear and then staying in power (at least for a little while longer.)

I hope that in this world, justice really has eyes and still exists. While Hun Sen and his government may not be the best for Cambodia, he is the only Cambodia’s leader recognized by the world now. His reasons to seek help from the United Nations should be considered by all justice loving people. Preah Vihear and Khmer people have nothing to do with the war mongers, the color coded red-shirt or the yellow-shirt one. They are innocent and just need long lasting peace and justice for now and forever.

The United Nations are heavily influenced by the five major countries— The United States of America; the United Kingdom ; the French Republic ; the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. The people around the globe are watching closely to see if the leaders of these countries can stand face to face with the truth and justice and whether they can tell Thailand that enough is enough and to leave Cambodia to the Khmer people to handle.
