		I would have liked to see a little more emphasis placed on the longer term effects of the events in Cambodia, such as the very real possibility of the Khmer people ceasing to be a distinct culture, the land mines issues and the continued indifference of the major world powers to the Cambodian political situation.

		Retired King Norodom Sihanouk, who at 82 years old continues to follow the news and comment on the latest world developments through his Web site, has used events taking place in Iraq today to attack US policy toward Cambodia in the 1960s and 1970s.
		For Cambodia, this democratization policy had amounted to the US, in the 1970s, supporting the Lon Nol regime and ignoring Cambodians’ agony during the Pol Pot era, and then in the 1980s, backing the Khmer Rouge as Cambodia’s legitimate representative to the UN, Norodom Sihanouk wrote.
		Norodom Sihanouk said on his Web site May 1 that, fortunately, there are people such as the Iraqis who refuse imperialism and military occupation, neither of which have any place in the 21st century.
