#1 What cracks me up (so to speak) is that this is horrible, YET this is lost in the background noise of the bloody borders of islam; this doesn't make the international news, bar the news agencies, and it doesn't even get much comments here; it's so... routinely, sadly, it would certainly warrant the meatgrinder graphic. Just an another day worth of thai jihadism.

#2 The thing that is even more depressing than the fact that atrocities really are routine, is the abject refusal to acknowledge (and general ignorance of) the fact that this is part of the worldwide war in which we are participating. You are so right on both counts, A5089. I like my comforting illusions as much as the next guy, but you'd think that 9-11 would have been enough of a wake-up call for more smart and influential people than it seems to have been. I just don't get it.
