#3 People mistakenly think that Buddhists are pacifists : they are generally not. And the Muslims in the south of Thailand are about to learn just how NOT pacifistic this particular Thai can be.

#5 "But if the violence continues, he said, the military should carry out "search and destroy" missions against the insurgents. "If we cannot make them surrender, then we have no choice - we have to destroy them.""

#6 The appointment this month of Pallop Pinmanee, a retired general notorious for his harsh tactics but admired for his survival instincts, appears to be an acknowledgement that the military-backed government's conciliatory approach toward Muslim insurgents in southern Thailand has failed.

The man sounds emminently suited to deal with Muslims.

#7 Here in Bangkok, one of the great "money quotes" of 2006 was by this guy, as he was being sacked as effective head of the Thai Internal Security Operations Command - because of suspicion that he was behind a failed half-ass asssination attempt on then-Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. His words: "If had wanted to do it, I would have done it more subtly...In my career, I have lead death squads. If I had wanted to kill him, the Prime Minister would not have escaped."
