We are very luck to be traveling around the world, experiencing and learning diverse histories and cultures.
There are so many similarities and repeated histories between and among us humans, once you get over the superficial outside differences.

I can only hope that we eventually learn and spend our resources for good things, like sharing food and beauty with friends.

The Angkor dynasty (700-1300 AD) in Cambodia, was characterized by wars with the Cham and the Siams.
Land mines and unexploded ordinances (bombs) remain a serious problem in Cambodia. Yesterday's newspaper reported the death of a farmer from a 30-year old anti-tank mine. Many of the mines were laid during the 1970's, when the USA was actively bombing Cambodia and neighboring countries. The USA supported various sides in the many wars in Southeast Asia during that time period - much like they do in the Middle East today.
I can only hope that we eventually learn and spend our resources for good things, like sharing food and beauty with friends.
