wake up guys, stop playing blame-game, I don't think Sihanouk , Lonol know what the fuck they were doing,they just a bunch of dump king, queen, knights and pawns being manipulated by those super powers, such as US, USSR, and CHINA. It is a chess game that being played untill today, the small guys will go first-meaning dead!
(Vietmese/Vietcong) was already in Kampuchea since 1800s created Khmer Rouge losing our MotherLand South-Vietnam. in 1960s they restart Genocide plan again. Kampuchea was a Neutral Country & Become China Communist ally because U.S.A invade Kampuchea with Bomb & to fight against their enemy (U.S.A, Khmer Capitalist & Vietmese) but the Vietmese was already taking control of Kampuchea Border & Villager since 1940s. Vietmese order those khmer to kill khmer Leading to the destruction of kampuchea
My daddy was in the army! My dad also told me that during the Khmer Republic their was corruption in government. I wouldn't say corrupt but his right-wing Social Republican Party was the majority in govt. Still, Lon Nol was a great figure in Khmer History and he should't be forgotten.
In the end HM Sihanouk is the one still alive and those who were wicked and traitorous got the fate they deserved. Sihanouk did not ever truly support the KR but was forced too out of necessity. If anything the coup of 1970, helped recruit the peasantry (a majority of the country) to help restore the King. Our national motto of "Nation, Religion, King" describes the Khmer national identity well. All the King wanted was an independent Cambodia; not one strung out like a puppet.
after 1970, any body seen bodies floats along Mekong river ? those are V.C in Cambodia . right now millions in Kampong Chhnang Tonle sap and else where.
Everyone who is khmer is affected by our dark history whether young or old. Don't believe anything from the media believe the ones who lived through the pol pot era. Lon nols army wasn't as great as u see or think. They captured and tortured innocent khmers to death who refused to join the government draft. Ask your parents or anyone who was a peasant they'll tell you the truth
The moral behind the story is : Don't trust the Americans whole-heartedly . Try to seek assistance from any other country that also opposes Communism , like the Republic Of China or Rhodesia or South Africa .
The Khmer Leaders had a mental problems. Sihanous wanted an absolute power. Nol Nol and Sisowath wanted a free Khmer Republic more like the American's, and Pol Pot want a utopia society. At the end, WE, the little ones, died. Sihanous jointed the Khmer Rouge and the Khmer Rouge over took the US back government of Lon Nol.
@LastXdeth Kissinger and Nixon decided to destroy Cambodia because Sihanouk supplied weapons to the NVA by having Sihanouk trail. Cambodia neutrality have been raped by the Communist and the USA.
@kralahomkong USA did not destroy Cambodia without the Khmer permission. Sihanous gave the Viet Cong permission to cross into Cambodia. The United States had tried to hold on to Cambodia for over 5 years, but it should had been the Khmer Republic to fight the Khmer Rouge's Sihanous. You never lived under the Khmer Rouge, so you will never understood what it was like.
I know he was a patriotic, but he failed to realize that the Khmer Rouge had a Hit List and his name was on top. Why didn't he escape to America like Lon Nol. The US offered him a safe place in US but he refused.
@kralahomkong - not only Kissinger and Nixon the whole goddamned USA did that. They tried to destroy Cambodia because NOT Sihanouk supplied weapons to Yeakong but it's because Sihanouk befriended with China and Sihanouk recoginzed China as the main supporter. Sihanouk was the only leader at that time to support China. That's why Chinese gov. always thanks and helps Sihanouk. The true destroyers of Cambodia are France and USA (indirectly thru LON Nol). sihanouk is also at fault.
@kralahomkong nope raped by 1 mans wealth sihanuoks! we were neutral and america gave us money not to let NVA through our border to sneak into south vietnam and sihanuok double crossed them and let the NVA do it for money ( my moms uncle opened the the border for the nva he was just a normal soldier n his words where "ah sihanuok cotch" lol lucky he got political asylum in france)
Hey I know what you're feeling and the sympathy you have for the country and the people. Those were the peaceful days that the Khmer had their first taste of FREEDOM. What ever is done is done in the past, however one can only learn from the terrible mistakes that those leaders made. I'm pretty sure those leaders were never meant to lead us in the wrong way however sometime destiny can not be avoided.
YES !!! lon nol has ended century old monarchy and destroyed century old country in just 4 1/2 years of his rule lolz . lon nol a fucken loser till the end he ran, unlike sirik matak atlease he face up to his mistake in an honorable khmer prince way .
it was sihanouk who support the khmer rouge and fight against the khmer army.. sihanouk was pissed he got voted out of power by the asssebly. stupid king.
@kbee213 Sihanous should be put on trial for helping the Khmer Rouge. Instead, he is made Father King and adored by the Khmers. He has mental problems.
I cannot see Lon Nol did any good job for his country but his did a good job for himself and for his Chinese young wife.He stole a lot of money from USAID, you can see he have ROll Roy .He did not do any good for Cambodian but he made a mess.In the present time ,his son Lon Rith should not showing his ashamed face in Cambodia .I wish The Cambodian Royal Government prohibit Republican Party from campaigning the election just like USA prohibit communist Party from entering race for President.
That is a great letter ,reflected his great patriotism but in a wrong way and in the wrong time and in the wrong place.Bravo le Royaume du Cambodge forever!.
@kralahomkong There is nothing to be ashamed about. You're in Cambodia right now. Do you have freedom? Remember, Khmer leaders are crazy people. Khmer has a history of killing its rivals. I betcha you're a chicken ass too? You have no clue how the Khmer Rouge tortured its rivals.

If Lon Nol did not overthrow Sihanouk and if Sihanouk did not joint the KR, then Cambodia would not be this way today....
