It is difficult to determine whether Sirik Matak is sincere about his proposal or if he will ever again be in a position to implement it, although the reported purge last weekend of Lon Non may help Sirik Matak's chances. Sihanouk has repeatedly said that he would never negotiate with the "Lon No1 clique," and his superior military position at present would seem to give him little...
