Move on Mark A. Vejjajiva and be a better man--Thanarat did the right thing.

Mark Abhisit Vejjajiva should have more dignity as an educated man in modern times.

The Preah Vihear case is over and done with since 1962 when the World Court decided and when then Thailand Prime Minster Sarit Thanarat’s government agreed with the verdict of the World Court: Preah Vihear and its surrounding belonged to Cambodia.

No one is crazy enough to believe that the World Court only awarded the "Temple" or "the monument" to Cambodia without the surrounding land.  Mark, you have made a fool of yourself.

It’s natural that any person or persons who lost in court would feel bad and disagree with the decision, but a man with dignity would live by such a decision and move on.  Prime Minnister Sarit Thanarat and many of his ministers reportedly wept over the decision, but they accepted the verdict with dignity. The case was closed!

According to the attached report (http://www.box.net/shared/3f0yyv84ve) Sarit told newsmen the Thai government's decision was based on a desire to "maintain our fine reputation in international affairs."  In the eyes of good men, it means that to accept the World Court’s verdict was the right thing to do for Thailand and for the world.

In this matter, Sarit Thanarat was a better man than Mark A. Vejjajiva -- an elite Thai with a PhD --who has been using the emotions of some yellow-shirt extremists to demonize himself, the Thai King as well as Thailand.  

Move on Mark.  It was the wrong move by Thailand from the beginning.  What Thailand have done here is to help put Premier Hun Sen , whom some of you have called him as “a bully boy next door “ on the pedestal and make him a hero and Cambodia the champion of ASEAN.  

Remember this; Premier Hun Sen may be “a bully boy next door” for Thailand but, it is the Khmer Temple of Preah Vihear that makes all Khmers unite behind him.
