#1 THAI-CAMBODIAN "SOUND OF SILENCE" = "SILENT SERENITY"...

versus

* PEOPLE'S DAILY FORUM > CAMBODIA'S HUN SEN [Prime Minister] TERMS BORDER DISPUTE WID THAILAND AS [de facto]"WAR", NOT merely an disparate "Arms Clash".

Whomever controls PREAH VIHEAR + surrounding areas CONTROLS A MIL-STRATEGIC "HIGH GROUND" into CAMBODIA.

IOW, e.g. INDIA-VS-CHINA ALA TIBET + NEPAL, albeit on a smaller scale???

* TOPIX > [Robert Ehrlich] US BOOTS ON THE BROUNDNEAR THAI-CAMBODIAN BORDER FIGHT, Cobra Gold 2011.

* SAME > ANALYSTS:FAILURE OF UN BORDER MEDIATION MAY SPARK THAI-CAMBODIAN WAR, i.e. new Border Clashes resulting = escalating into Regional War.
