#1 Have they tried hunting down and killing the guilty parties?

#2 First things first, RC. They've tried the origami cranes, next is soccer. Then comes the All-Faiths Ice Cream Social, the community outreach rec center, and then the hunting down and killing of guilty parties.

#3 I'm guessing the soccer is their equivalent to all-night basketball?

#4 The government has tried strict controls and promises of aid.

Appeasement, by any other name.

#5 BAR: Appeasement, by any other name.

Appeasement may be cheaper for a country highly dependent on tourist dollars. Thailand is one of the top tourist destinations in the world. If terrorist strikes start spreading, that will change. They're hoping to contain it. Note that under the placid surface, things are happening - I have read of Muslim complaints about mysterious disappearances. Thais are polite to a fault, but if you've ever watched a bout of Thai boxing, you'll know that they're not necessarily a squeamish people.

#6 Have they tried hunting down and killing the guilty parties?

Actually, they have. They're just not very good at it.

#7 I say just start killing terrorists. The Thai government is trying all the stuff that can't work against a philosophy that says kill the other.( just like ours.) You can't fight Fascists with education, you have to imprison them in a way that they can't spread their vile doctrine or, kill them. There is no other way. Fascism is a threat to all people everywhere. Even our government fails to get this bit of reality.

#8 Maybe if the just give what they want they'll just be nice. That and that Thais stop praciticing Bhuddism, and well, knock all the Bhuddist Temples down. Er, and don't forget about the women, cover 'em up.
Oh, yeah, and Isreal outta Palestine.
