Asean must stop endorsing thugs

When will the Asean community stop giving the wink or nod to these 
rulers as in the case of Cambodia? Isn't it enough that this thug, Hun 
Sen, wormed his way to become an unelected PM?

This poor country has seen so much grief and loss of life. Where is the 
Buddhist spirit? If Thailand or any other nation in Southeast Asia 
recognises this trash of a thug they should have their heads examined. 
Just look at the looting and killing. Is this what countries want to 
deal with in the future? 

No one country's or businesses' monies are safe with this renegade. This 
is not a normal action and Thailand should definitely not look on him as 
a PM. Shame on any person or country who does. Where are the UN and 
world leaders?

Is this not the beginning of another "killing fields"? Slorc and Hun Sen 
have no place in Asean, and no place to go if we stop cowing to them.
