Then-Prince Sihanouk and then-Princess Monique
CASE SHOWING A VIETNAMESE AS LIAR :
King Sihanouk accepts all Vietnamese communist as his friends.
1. Pham Van Dong , the Prime Minister of Vietnam. But Pham Van Dong behaved
toward the Khmer King as a Thief ,a criminal , a liar ...
Here are the facts :
June 1967:
-PHAM VAN DONG AS PRIME MINISTER declared to King Sihanouk that Vietnam
respect Cambodia independence and territorial integrity in exchange for
Cambodia recognition of the North Vietnamese as legal government of Vietnam
in 1967 and allowed Vietnam to open the Ambassy in Phnom Penh in June 1967.
Dec. 25, 1978 Invasion of Cambodia. Some 100,000 Vietnamese with 20,000 KUFNS
troops, under the direction of Gen. Van Tien Dung, launch an invasion of
Cambodia

Op-Ed by MP
THOSE of us who have been keen observers of Cambodian politics within recent
decades are more or less used to idiosyncratic reminiscences emanating from N.
Sihanouk's camp. There's no real cause for doubting KI Media's sincerity in
rendering this kind of anecdotes, which has been profusely produced by the
former monarch himself and accumulated in abundance, no doubt, in his Royal
Library.
What should interest any independent, fair-minded observer is to what extent
and how much of an influence had our Royal Princess Monique who formed the
other Half of the Khmer Royal pair been part of Sihanouk's decision-making
throughout his long convoluted political career and, through that, her own
personal involvement in the making of Cambodian history - its salvation and
tragedies alike - in the course of the same period. In his own memoir, Sihanouk
recalls how Monique was persistent in 'persuading' him - following his
overthrow by Lon Nol - to join force with the Khmer Rouge who were then still
under de facto influence of the North Vietnamese whose troops remained on Khmer
soil even after April 1975 and would have remained there longer had it not been
for Beijing's mounting pressure on Hanoi to withdraw.
Perhaps, China did exert pressure on the exiled Khmer royals to return to
reinforce Sihanouk's erstwhile opponents (Red Khmers) whom he now described as
‘patriots’ or maybe the Royal Couple themselves were counting on the Vietminhs
repaying them in gratitude for what the latter owed the former for that vital
assistance provided prior to the 1970 coup. What is beyond debate is the fatal
'mistake' committed by Sihanouk in his decision to embrace the Red Khmers so
soon after that coup; an error which he subsequently himself publicly
acknowledged in an off-guard moment to a journalist. If Monique did sway this
historical decision then she may have, even with her youth and legendary beauty
in mind, reduced more than a couple of Soviet leaders to helpless victims by
the power of her spells.
With the benefit of hindsight and with our bitter taste of what was to follow
as a direct outcome of this course of action and gamble by Sihanouk one could
not help but wonder what course history might have taken instead had he not
allowed his Royal name and presence to be used by cold-hearted men and
revolutionary groups whose ideology the US ambassador to Cambodia at the time
described as ‘un-Cambodian’. And he was not simply referring to the North
Vietnamese.
But even without the benefit of hindsight, it is plausible to take the view
that there would have been no logical need for the Prince to plunge his small
kingdom that had no real quarrel with the US into full blown armed conflict by
embracing the Communists. Lon Nol might have grave difficulties holding out
against the battle- hardened Vietminhs, but at least he would not have to
dispense so much energy killing – or trying not to be killed by – his own
compatriots in the Red Khmers who were now responding to Sihanouk’s call to
bear arms against the ‘traitorous’ Khmer republicans with alarming fanaticism
and zeal. The Vietnamese might also have eventually achieved their ultimate
ambition of bringing the Indochina-coursing Mekong under their control by one
means or another, but the most likely scenario that would have prevailed would
have been the absence of executions and killings that had been a most salient
and grim pattern in Cambodia’s ‘civil wars’ in recent decades. Even the
systematic executions of between 40-60,000 defeated Lon Nol soldiers most of
whom had once been Sihanouk’s ‘children’ and subjects – the part of that mass
killings to only have been openly acknowledged by Pol Pot - would have been too
much a price for Cambodia to have to pay. The survival of trained non-Communist
military personnel would have provided the country with a much better material
with which to resist outright foreign domination in later years. Even the North
Vietnamese recognised the pragmatic benefit of incorporating former South
Vietnamese soldiers and officers into their unified national military rank,
some of whom were subsequently dispatched as ‘volunteers’ to Cambodia and Laos.
This familiar mistake – committed again by the CPP in 1997 to neutralise
Funcinpec’s military threat - should never be repeated. It is a senseless waste
of human resource in the glaring face of the nation’s much lamented numerical
handicap with relations to its neighbours, never mind the charge of rights
violation against captured military personnel in time of war.
As a keen reader of world history, Sihanouk would have taken note with some
personal trepidation of the massacre of the entire Russian royal family carried
out by the Bolsheviks to ensure that the monarchy could never again re-emerge
to reclaim the political throne in Russia. That he overlooked this personal
risk and made a decision to throw in his lot with the Communist camp does seem
to testify to his overall misplaced (and perhaps, reckless) optimism that the
North Vietnamese and their Khmer Rouge allies would save his nation and people
from any likely catastrophe - which they singularly failed, by force of their
own respective motives and in line with their own ulterior agendas (and are
arguably failing still) to do. Not only that. Once their common Foe – the US -
had been overcome traditional distrust resurfaced between the North Vietnamese
and their Pol Pot-led Communist allies leaving Sihanouk in a precarious
position as he was now caught between the Tiger of the Khmer Rouge and the
Crocodile of the Vietminhs in his Unholy Royal Alliance with them both, who by
way of their own imperceptible metamorphoses and un-evolved predatory traits,
continue to keep him through his ceremoniously enthroned royal heir firmly
between their threatening jaws - a tragic fate and dilemma, furthermore, to
which by way of perverted extension the Khmer people and nation are presently
condemned.

"He suffered from the maladies of his subjects more than from his own; for it
is the public grief which makes the grief of kings, and not their own grief."
