Thailand and Cambodia

Jul 17, 2008 14:12

After visiting Thailand and Cambodia earlier this year, it's rather distressing to read that there are troop buildups on the border between the two countries. Of all things, part of the border dispute is over a temple, Preah Vihear, which was just named a UNESCO world heritage site. I guess it's naive to want to just ask everyone to please play nice together and not beat each other with sticks (or worse).

Hopefully this is all just posturing and nothing more serious will come of it. Cambodia certainly doesn't need new conflicts to interrupt it's regrowth following the brutal times there under the Khmer Rouge
