As a Khmer, not a politician, at the time of Cambodia’s great mourning;
Sam Rainsy has done his part. Now it's up to the King and Premier Hun
Sen to decide.
There is no one else in Cambodia except Cambodia’s King and Prime
Minister that Sam Rainsy can ask for help for such a special request.
King Father Sihanouk has passed and for Sam Rainsy to go through
Vietnam, China or other nations for help is inappropriate because
according to Premier Hun Sen Cambodia is independent.
The rejection from the part of Hun Sen’s regime only gives Sam Rainsy a new ammunition to fight on to gain his credibility.
Communications among Khmer brothers must be continued. Without
communication, we will not be able to help each other build Cambodia.
Reaching
out to his opponent does not mean that Sam Rainsy is weak. It takes
courage to request his adversary's help in time of a great national
grief and respect.
If he believes that Father King Sihanouk was the father of all Khmers,
Premier Hun Sen should be able to show his courage to help. It is much
better for Hun Sen to help Sam Rainsy now than to have some foreigners
to intervene later on or to handle future problems---putting Sam Rainsy
in Cambodia’s jail when Sam Rainsy decides to go in on his own.
Politically speaking, Hun Sen should not be worried about Sam Rainsy if
he believes that the CPP is completely in control of Cambodia’s
political landscape.
To let Sam Rainsy in at this time Hun Sen will both save his face and
will prove that Cambodia and his regime is independent from any
foreign’s domination and interference.
It’s still a good time to reconcile!

I agree with you ;It is time to reconcile with all khmers whether you're Cpp or none Cpp we all khmers must reunited to fight corruption and Nepotism and favoritism that kills our society today.Hun cent must release all political's prisoners like Sir Mam Sonondo and Sam Rainsy among others to fulfil the king wishes.

Hun Sen doesn't think he needs to prove to the international communities that his regime is independence from foreigns domination or interference. Hun Sen is a man that doesn't concern about saving faces and wouldn't hessitate to intimidate any opposition in front of national and internation news media. Hun Sen doesn't care whether he is percieve as a dictator or a puppet. As long as Hun Sen remains in power, he doesn't what the world leaders think of him and his regime.
