Vox Populi: UN turns its back on Cambodia and Cambodia must stop stooping to Thai belligerence

Thank for your excellent view on this issue.

I don't know the why the UN turned its back on this issue and allowed a weak ASEAN to solve this problem. Didn't the UN blame Thailand for anything about her aggression? I doubt the role of the UN in solving this conflict. Does the UN not know that ASEAN does not have military? ASEAN is always influenced by the old members like Thailand, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and so on? For example, Singapore will absolutely support Thailand until the end of the world.
If Thailand wants to invade Cambodia anytime, how can ASEAN help?

The UN's decision is really shameful I have ever seen. Why?
1. It does no know the purpose of Cambodia. What we want is to make sure that there is no armed clash near the border.
2. We don't want any country to threaten Cambodia by force.
3. We just want justice and peace in the region.
4. Cambodia wants Thailand to respect the international law. If Thailand is not satisfied with the decision of the International Court of Justice, she should appeal the court decision.

So far, I don't know why we Cambodia must be a victim of Thailand's internal political crisis.
We Cambodians just want peace and are tired to play game with those extremist Thais. The Cambodian-Thai conflict really slowed our developments. We DON'T CARE ABOUT THAILAND'S INTERNAL CONFLICT.

Negotiations can be fairly and peacefully possible if there is no military threat from Thailand and there must be arbitrator participating in the negotiation process. Cambodia just ask for one or two UN peacekeepers (one or two people) to observe and give justice to us when there is any clash in the border. They can witness "who attack whom?" and "who is the real invader?"
Each year, Cambodia sends so many peacekeepers to the UN, but what the UN give Cambodia back was just a bluff (at least our delegation waste our time on the floor of the UN).

Please take Cambodia out of unlawful Thailand's internal issue and the ambition of a small group of Thai nationalists.

We don't want to mess with Thailand. Go Away Thailand.

Khmers, we do not have one more life to lose in the deadly border game being played by the Thais. To solve the Cambodia-Thailand border problem at Prasat Preah Vihear; simply install video cameras to provide live feeds to the UN and the world to show the Thais have been the perpetrators and the aggressors...problem solved.

Thais want bilateral talks to resolve this issue, (which clearly an issue of their making), because they think they can take advantage of Cambodia's naive leaderships. Thai parliament held up the vote on the border commission for years, yet they insist on bilateral talks to solve this issue. Thai leaders are choosing provocations and confrontations with Khmers because they know they can because of their stronger and larger economics, politics and military. However, you Thais don't forget about Khmer heart, because as long as Angkor is still standing, Khmers will always stand strong together as one. We know how Siems-Thais do business, i.e., they have always bowed and chosen appeasement to foreign powers like the French, British, Japanese, US et cetera. They shoot to kill on poor Khmers going into the woods to scavenge for foods, shoot to kill on Khmer refugees who sneaked out of the barb-wired Thai camps to scavenge for additional foods to supplement the meager rations provided in the camps, beat down on those who could not defend themselves; and we Khmers with good hearts, as we have shown through out our history, should avoid stooping to their belligerent levels, and let's just show the true belligerent Thais to the world.
