#3 Nice response Thaksin. Tell this selective Ugly Nations to fly a kite. What is this UN doing about things in Sudan and in the subSahara region? Excessive force? Who attacked who first. Besides what about the 100 odd innocents(including harmless Buddhist monks and teachers)who were already murdered by these killers. It meant perhaps that more soldiers and policemen should be killed in the UN terms? Idiotarian and hypocritical UNHCR!

#4 Since Bangkok has some very nice hotels, they deserve to be investigated and should submit themselves immediately and be contrite and respectful of their UN betters. Besides, the UNHCR voted last week that they'd like to eat Thai food this week. Mmmmmm, Panaeng Kai!

"Chart nah", assholes.

#5 More than 100 youths were killed by security forces, after they carried out a series of raids on police and army posts in three southern provinces.

... The New York-based group Human Rights Watch said on Thursday that Thailand should investigate whether "such a high level of lethal force was necessary", and Muslim leaders have also questioned the severity of the authorities' response.

...On Friday, senior security adviser Gen Kitti Rattanchaya said the attackers had been trained both in Thailand and overseas, and were ready to sacrifice themselves.

Tuesday's attacks took place in three separate provinces heavily dominated by Muslims: Yala, Pattani and Songkhla. However, given that the attacks were coordinated makes it highly unlikely that these would simply be the work of errant "youths."

Anyone who thinks these well coordinated attacks were not the acts of Islamist terrorist groups is a few tacos short of a fiesta.

"Errant youths" do not stage orchestrated attacks upon police stations with pistols and machetes in search of automatic weapons. Shinawatra should be commended for dismissing criticism flung at him by such flaccid members of the world community. Things wouldn't be nearly so bad if these same whiners squawked half as loud about the slaughter of innocent Israelis by the score.
