| #2 You're welcome. I visited Thailand (not the south, though) back around 1999 because it was so inexpensive due to the Asian financial meltdown at the time. I really enjoyed the trip and the people I met there. Some years later, when I became a Rantburg regular and began posting articles, I started seeing how many attacks were happening regularly in southern Thailand. So, I decided to check in with the Thai newspapers whenever I'd post and, sure enough, there was something happening there most of the time. If the MSM would start covering the war against Islamic fascism (for lack of a better term) the way Rantburg does - as one big worldwide struggle, like the fight against fascism and communism - the world might be a better place. It would at least be a less deluded one. |

| #1 Big thanks to Ryuge. South Thailand is one of the hottest fronts of the Global Islamic war. I find it a little sad that it attracts so little attention. Unfortunately the Buddhists have as little grasp of the situation as Our Own leaders do. This should be much bigger news than it is. |
