#1 I see the Thais quietly going full Roman on the muzzies and driving the lot of them into Malaysia. It will be ethnic cleansing writ large. Those muzzies that don't leave will soon be dead. Losing the muzzies will be no loss to Thailand; the sooner they're gone, the sooner the terror stops.

#2 I don't see that. I see the Thais in full retreat while they rearrange the government to one with the balls to kill the cancer of the south.
Show me headlines with thousands of muzzies killed or wounded after the real Thai army has at them, relentlessly, day and night.

#3 Mac: That would be satay popcorn time but I see no evidence the Thais are going to show any more spine than we have so far.

#4 Sounds like the govt. is mobilizing the Buddhist population to me. That's the first thing you'd want to do before the big play.

#5 If I was running Thailand I'd follow Mac's advice exactly. The Muslim's had a chance at peace and decided they'd rather have war.

Since when has it ever been any different with Muslims? It's time to get all Medieval on their worthless Islamic asses.

Ask the Mongols.

#8 Ask the Mongols.

Did they happen to leave behind an instruction manual?

#9 Dear Ryuge,

Didn't get a chance to thank you for your comments yesterday. It's a sad state of affairs when the government refuses to protect her people from a criminal element. The Yaba salesman were effectively destroyed because they didn't represent one group. Because Islamist violence can be pinned on one group the PC fear intolerance. It's truly very sad.

#10 You're welcome Rightwing. I'm glad I saw your comment and was able to respond quickly. I keep looking for signs that the sleeping giant (reclining Buddha?) might be stirring and getting ready for a vigorous response. The jihadis couldn't be doing much more to provoke one.

#11 Well I sure hope that Mac is right about the future Thai response. I need to get some Thai food soon and ask the proprieter what he thinks should be done and if the Thai ex-pat community is mobilizing to help create change.

#12 Ask the Mongols.

But one branch of the Mongols split off invade India, where they became known as the Moghuls. Their shameful legacy is modern Pakistan.

#13 Did they happen to leave behind an instruction manual?

Genghis Khan generally preferred to offer opponents the chance to submit to his rule without a fight and become vassals by sending tribute, accepting residents, contributing troops and supply. He guaranteed them protection only if they abided by the rules set forth, but his and his successor leaders' policy was widely written in historical documents as causing mass destruction, terror and deaths if they encountered a resistance.

#14 The insurgents' aim "is no longer to just empty villages of Buddhists, but whole districts"

Makes it easier to target...

#15 But the Moghuls were just Mongols with a spelling error who entered India. And we've got Pakistan to show for it.

#16 Thaksin was the only one who had a forceful respones, even tho 1/2 ass. I don't see this military junta doing a damn thing especially when it's headed by a Muslim. Thai's are just not warriors, atleast in this century.
