#1 If achieving "peace in the south" requires appeasing the Muslim insurgency, everybody involved will be in for a huge surprise about what's to come. Well, maybe except for Prime Minister Sondhi.

#3 Toxin's problem in the south has hardly been that he's been too "hard-fisted." It's Forbes, but it's an AP story. I'd wait for verification from Debka.

#5 If Muslims are given autonomy, then they will then demand independence if not unity with Malaysia. Negotiation with terrorists is another word for surrender.

#6 I'd wait for verification from Debka.

If I were ever capable of such subtlety as this, y'all would be pulling the knife from between your ribs, cleaning it and handing it back to me with thanks for my kindness.

#8 I know you meant General Sondhi, Zenster. Thaksin is the PM.

#10 Displace the Muslims into Malaysia. The international stink will be muted because (a) if the white folks aren't involved nobody cares for long (b) There are bigger things going on around the world.

That's what I would do. At least to any villages that are uncontrollable. The Soviets moved the entire population of Chechnya at one time. Solved the Chechnyan problem until someone got the bright idea to let them return to their homeland.
