Meanwhile, back in Southeast Asia, Hun Sen is suffering from the Casey Jones syndrome. He can't let go of the throttle.

Their Word for Money is “Louie”

There was a graciousness in the manners of the people, in the flow of the skirts of the women, and in the layout of the spread, which made me rather painfully aware that I was witnessing the living remnant of one of those shang-ri-la’s which had been desecrated by the financial machine of the Bonapartists, before being sacrificed on the altar of Holocaust to the political passions of the 20^th Century. I suppose that it is no accident that, in the Khmer language, the word for money is “Louie.”

“It is only through prosecuting our genocide trial, and by making the world aware of the damage which your competing spheres of influence have inflicted on Cambodia,” explains Tran, “that we can finally bring the long history of genocide, witch burning, and religious persecution to a halt. Sam Rainsy stands before all sentient beings as a witness to the Truth of the Buddha. Sooner or later, we shall find that it is our destiny to either help each other live or help each other die. We, who have seen what can happen when a nation loses faith in life, must stand up and testify to the light, because we have seen that the alternative is terrible.”

The Tigers & Wolves Resist Justice

“We know that the leaders shall resist, blackmail each other and raise up false prophets against us, but eventually, it shall be obvious that we shall have peace only when the greatest captains of industry and economics, as well as generals and the party secretaries in China, become accountable for their complicity in anything which leads to genocide. That is your Last Judgement demythologized, and it is the only thing that shall save the little nations and the aboriginal tribes from getting ground up in the machine of “Sphere of Influence” politics.

“If you want to put it that way, the Genocide Tribunal is our Zion, our ‘Never Again!’ We are not doing this to get revenge on China, but when the Chinese are in our country we do expect them to play soccer by the European rules, instead of American football.”

The two men whose wives are still working in the kitchen come out to join us, as we drink beer and enjoy our oriental feast. As I gather from bits of dialogue which are exchanged as we enjoy the repast, another hot issue concerns the manners and morals of Hun Sen, who is the present prime minister. I gather from the drift that, if everything is cricket, Sam Rainsy shall become prime minister, after the election of 2008. The only problem is, that Hun Sen does not know how to play cricket, because he got his training from the Khmer Rouge.

When the Hero Becomes the Tiger

Originally, Hun Sen was a high official for the Khmer Rouge. His Bible was, and is, Mao’s Little Red Book. His awakening of conscience, if conscience had anything to do with it at all, came when Hun Sen realized that certain officials quite close to him had been hauled off to be tortured in Toul Sleng, and that, as soon as their tongues had been loosened, he was going to be next.

Unquestionably, Hun Sen is a hero, who made the hero’s journey instead of submitting to the unthinkable. Hun Sen ended up in Viet Nam, and returned with a dragon to aid him. Unfortunately, Hun Sen is one of those old fashioned heroes with a fatal flaw: he suffers from the Casey Jones syndrome. It is obvious to anyone with engineering experience that the crown plate is dry, but the little red Hun cannot take his hand off the throttle long enough to open the water valve and keep the crown plate wet enough that the boiler will not explode.

Since the Chief Engineer for the Communist Party suffers the Casey Jones syndrome, the most informed observers seem to have serious questions about whether the upcoming election will even adhere to the standards of American football.
