The Dam

So the Prime Minster of Cambodia has delayed the building of the Dam till 2018. When I was there talk about a dam was happening and it seemed to be pretty divided on whether or not the dam should be built. It was basically if you had fallen victim to the brain washing of the PM you were all for the dam and if you were against him and his ruling over Cambodia you were against the building of the dam. I thought it was interesting because this article talks about how the PM deported a man from another country who was protesting against the dam. I thought this was interesting because it made me think that the PM was abusing his power (yet again) and was taking away from his people the right to know both sides of every story. He did not want his people to have a different opinion than him or any motivation to act upon it because that would threaten his security of power. It made me wonder if there are things like that that happen here in the US that we just never hear about.
