But ask yourself this: could you, or anyone else you know of, have done a better, faster and fairer job of resurrecting Kampuchea from an awful civil war and all that came with that (incl more HE tonnage courtesy of Boeing B52s than that dropped by all sides during the whole of WWII)? Probably not.

Anyone who has worked with and experienced the results of well thought out win-win strategies, knows it can be very real and hugely beneficial. But if you haven’t, and if you come from a history where trust and positive belief is a little thin on the ground, well then yes, it can be difficult to BELIEVE. In other WORDS, win-win can easily sound like just another form of BS.

Samdech Hun Sen is definitely on the right track by promoting win-win, in any and every way possible. I just wish a way could be found to quickly and credibly communicate the true reality and potential upside of WW, to more Cambodian’s, and for that matter, all of us that live here in the KoW.
