Many years ago, Sam Rainsy was popular and had a growing base on the basis of nationalism and identity. His party was legitimate and winning seats in the General elections. Khmers were proud and fought for their identity and country. Now look at what happen to Sam Rainsy and his party. Down to nothing. The US and West made a huge mistake by forcing Sam Rainsy to abandon nationalism because of criticism from a few people. This set the fall of Sam Rainsy and his party. Mostly it set back the Khmers. They lost land and thier identity, first to the Vietnamese, now the Chinese. China would have never been allowed a base in Cambodia if the US and the West never abandon Sam Rainsy's nationalistic struggles against the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese dugged-in not only in Cambodia but Laos as well. Time was lost, land was lost, identity was lost. Now time is running out for the US and the West in the region. The US never understood, you can't remove China without also removing the Vietnamese and their influence. Hun Sen has always been a puppet of Vietnam, who ruled with a iron fist. The US has always wanted to trust the Vietnamese, but that has proven costly for both Cambodia and Laos. Now China has a base in Cambodia.

Hun Sen for Complicity in genocide under Article 3 (e) of the United Nations on the punishment and prevention of crimes of genocide when he was one of commander under Pon Pot Khmer Rouge regime and he was a significant contributor to the death of millions of innocent Cambodians, therefore, he committed of crimes complicity of crimes of genocide so he must be charged as genocidaire as Pon Pot.
