"I cannot believe the Thai government doesn't put an end to this, their hands are not tied like the US."

To his credit, Prime Minister Thaksin has made some attempts to deal with the Islamic violence in the south. The problem is, he and his TRT party are like the West in that they refuse to accept the depth of the problem. Thaksin and his administration like to blame Muslim violence on hooligans or gang members rather than accept the completely obvious - which is that a significant percentage of the entire Islamic population in the south is sympathetic to their terrorist brethren. Still, Thaksin takes a strong stand against terror from time to time, but unfortunantly each time he does, busy body NGO's get involved and condemn the Thai government and the West starts whining that Thaksin should persue "dialogue" rather than allow the "cycle of violence" to continue.

Keep an eye on Thailand. The Islamic terrorists are actively trying to bomb tourist areas in and around BKK, Phuket and elsewhere. Something on the scale of the Bali bombing will be attempted, the only question is when and will the Thai authorities be able to stop it in time.

There have been religions that practiced sacrificing the first-born in the fiery furnace of an idol's mouth; and the Israelites were commanded to kill them all.

No sane people can or should tolerate a religion that demands the death of innocents. Of course ,no sane people would tolerate a political system that promotes the killing of the unborn. Every day of every week of every year Americans kill MORE future citizens than the Mohammedans did on the ONE day they brought their violence to U.S. soil.

Yea, dropping all the paper birds over the southern provinces was a great idea...

You forgot the ever convenient, "it is because they are all on drugs" line. LOL!
