22. A Star Is Born

From the recent battles with the Thai Army for Preah Vihear Temple and the 4.6Km2 surrounding land, a new star is born. It is the two star General Hun Manet, eldest son of PM Hun Sen. He is acclaimed as a military hero who has demonstrated his military skill facing a superior force and successfully defending Cambodia's territorial itegrity.
   Hun Manet got western education, graduating from West Point Military Academy and a PhD in economics from a British University. I hope that he would work for at  real democracy in Cambodia and defend Cambodia territorial democracy from all sides.
    What worry me is this old saying that state "Tel Pere, tel Fils" or "LIke Father, Like Son". I strongly hope that it will not apply...

   The Future will tell.
