#2 Buddhist Thailand:

Yep. Wake up dudes! I remember those South Vietnamese Buddhists that had no problem back in 1963 dousing themselves with gasoline and lighting themselves into a blazing fire.

Here's hoping the Thai Buddhists have a slighty modified version of that practice: In the 2005 version, they take a number of Jihadist imams and light them ablaze.

#3 The Thais practice Hinayana Buddhism, which is different from the Mahayana flavor favored by the Viets. I don't believe they've ever gotten into the self-immolation thing.

On the other hand, while they're really very nice people, they're also quite capable of doing terrible things to rebellious mutt-wits. I believe they're holding off at the moment because they're trying to break the habit and because Taksin's an idiot.

#4 well, let's hope they get over that squeamishness before they're all dead?
