Leader keeps opposition at more than arm's length

2 It is now well known that democracy works in Cambodia just so long as its prime minister continues winning elections, whatever the inclinations of voters may be. Fresh from his latest victory in 2008, Hun Sen does not have to worry too much about the leader of the main opposition party, Sam Rainsy. Rainsy is in France, a good place to be because he's been sentenced to two years in prison for "racial incitement and destroying demarcation posts on the border with Vietnam." It seems that last October Rainsy joined local villagers in Svay Rieng's Chantrea district in pulling up six temporary markers placed in the villagers' rice fields by Vietnamese officials. Hun Sen, of course, was put in power in 1985 by Hanoi after Vietnamese forces invaded Cambodia to push out the Khmer Rouge. He is often called "Hanoi's stooge" by opponents, but not to his face.

  2. Please let me know if you're looking for a article writer for your blog. You have some really great articles and I believe I would be a good asset. If you ever want to take some of the load off, I'd absolutely love to write some content for your blog in exchange for a link

  3. Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said "You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear." She put the shell to her
    ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

  4. Hi! I was interested to know if setting up a weblog
    such your own: http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?
    blogID=8341283955003231708&postID=8719801383121497706 is tough to do
    for inexperienced people? I have been wanting to develop my own blog for a while now but have been turned
    off because I've always assumed it demanded tons of work. What do you think? Thanks!

  5. Hi there just came upon your website from Yahoo after I entered in, "Blogger: ." or perhaps
    something similar (can't quite remember exactly). Anyways, I'm happy I found it
    because your subject material is exactly what I'm looking for (writing a university paper) and I hope you don't mind if I collect some
    material from here and I will of course credit you as the source.
    Many thanks.

  6. I'm new to developing web sites and I was wanting to know if having your website title relevant to your articles and other content really that vital? I see your title, "Blogger: . " does seem to be spot on with what your website is about yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any assistance would be greatly valued.

  11. My programmer is trying to convince me to move to .
    net from PHP. I have always disliked the idea because of the costs.
    But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on various websites for about a year
    and am anxious about switching to another platform.
    I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way
    I can transfer all my wordpress content
    into it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  13. Hey! I just wanted to ask if you ever have any problems with hackers?

    My last blog (wordpress) was hacked and I ended up losing
    several weeks of hard work due to no data backup.
    Do you have any methods to stop hackers?

  15. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if
    it can survive a 25 foot drop, just so she can be a
    youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now broken and she has 83 views.

    I know this is totally off topic but I had to share it with someone!

  16. Hello there! My name is Gretchen and I personally just desired to say your
    website is awesome! It truly is amusing due to the fact I use to have a website that
    nearly had an identical url: http://www.blogger.com/comment.

    g?blogID=8341283955003231708&postID=8719801383121497706 mine was only a few characters different.

    In any case, I am a big admirer of your site and if you ever would like a guest post please make sure to email me personally at:
    rudolfhinds@gmail.com. I take pleasure in writing!

  17. Hi there! I know this is kinda off topic however I'd figured I'd ask.

    Would you be interested in trading links or maybe guest authoring a blog post
    or vice-versa? My blog addresses a lot of the
    same topics as yours and I believe we could greatly benefit from each
    other. If you happen to be interested feel free to send me an e-mail.
    I look forward to hearing from you! Awesome blog by the way!
