Phnom Penh (FN), Jan. 8 –To ignore or to rewrite the past are efficient tools for governments that want to fool the people. The US embassy in Phnom Penh gave yesterday a new example of such “diplomacy as the patriotic art to lie” (Ambrose Gwinett Bierce).
In a statement about the 7 January, the US embassy wrote that “Phnom Penh was liberated from the notorious Khmer Rouge regime”. You read well: the representation of the US government is calling today the 7 January 1979 a liberation.
More: they “celebrate the ingenuity, courage and perseverance with which the Cambodian people have emerged from this period of darkness…” !
Who are they kidding?
What was the US reaction in 1979 about that liberation? A strong condemnation of “the military violation of Kampuchean sovereignty and replacement of the government by force”. They said that the Pol Pot’s government was “the only legitimate government of Cambodia”. In 1979, not that word about a liberation.
They decided that the legitimate ambassador of the Cambodian people at the UN was a representative of Pol Pot. The victims were represented by one of their torturers.
They decided to support a decision that prohibited any aid for the development of Cambodia, a country devastated by the US bombing and a population of survivors from one of the worst criminal regimes in the twentieth century.
In 1979, the USA denied the right of Vietnam to protect its own security as it was, since 1975, under violent and bloody attacks by the Pol Pot regime that had caused thousands of casualties. They denied to Vietnam the exercise of a right recognised by article 51 of the UN Charter.
In 1979, the USA denied the request for liberation expressed by thousands of Cambodians that had fled to Vietnam to escape the genocidal regime of Pol Pot. The US that pretend to defend human rights refused to recognize the fundamental right of the Cambodian people to overthrow a regime of terror and to request the assistance of a foreign country to achieve such a goal (a right yet recognized in 1971 to the people of Eastern Pakistan that became Bangladesh).
The US position lasted twelve years. A delay in the reconstruction of a Cambodian society and the recreation of human resources that has still consequences today.
Instead of giving the impression that they used to support the Cambodian people after the 1979 liberation, the USA should apologize for their diplomatic and military support given to the Pol Pot’s movement during the 12 years that followed the fall of this barbaric regime.

Strange how out of everybody I know, both living out here and in battambang all (with a few exceptions) totally hate the Vietnamese, most don't like or trust the Chinese, but have universal favourable feelings towards the white man.
This topic keeps coming up daily where I work as well as with the everyday bumpkins I have to deal with day to day.
Maybe it's a lie and they're secretly sharpening their knives ready to slice me like a pig as. I sleep, but I don't think so.
I'd wager, bar the odd sketchy drunk guy or ice head, anybody who has gotten out of the main tourist areas has had any worse than a confused look and mostly kindness and hospitality from people.
Bad shit went down, but nobody cares. Youn stealing Khmer land hundreds of years ago actually matters, as does the new joke that Cambodia is to become the most southern province of china.

Yea, in term of the VN I get it here too. Its a complicated issue which I am still struggling to figure out its root of hatred aside from the obvious Prey Nokor aka Kumpuchea Krom taken land. It goes beyond that.
Sometimes I feel sorry for the honest hard working Vietnamese in Cambodia, they get a lot of shit...whenever I had enough of my local friends continue spewing hatred about this issue while drinking I just simply said why dont you start dealing with this oppressed govt first and deal with it later, it is a way to change topic. Whenever I go to my neighborhood VN coffee shop customers and owner there only converse with me in Vietnamese when they want to get things off their chest.

Indeed. Although a few weeks ago I had to take the family to pp and booked a peasant express minivan. Along the way we picked up an old lady. She cooed a bit over our half chat sprog and gossiped with the Mrs. Her old lady opinion was that she hates the Vietnamese, but at least in Cambodia they pretend to be Khmer , whereas the Chinese are bringing new development but are horrible people who look down on Cambodia.

Maybe more evident out in the provinces than in PP.
However in PP, I have had several landlords tell me that they would rather leave a house empty than rent to a Chinese person.
Keep focusing on the 70's to divert attention from the problems of today, such as arresting leaders of the opposition party on TRUMPed up charges.

I wonder how the average Khmer reader views all this recent onslaught in the daily rags? I'd imagine a lot of the older ones are used to the propaganda, having lived through the 80's, do regular people read/believe or care about these efforts, which must be coming from the MoI?
Just like a bad tune on the radio, if they play it often enough, you'll be humming it in no time at all.
That said, there must be well over 3 million people that are enraged by the perpetual rhetoric. Anti - US to them, must read as anti- democracy/ CNRP. Ie anti- change.
In a way, they've successfully tied America with over half the population of Cambodia. Whatever the rhetoric of the goverment, China and Japan as to supporting the Cambodian 'people', as opposed to its self/ government.
Wait until China starts moving its missiles and bases here. That may juice things up a bit.
