#2 Bring in a few hundred Hmong tribesmen from central Laos and Vietnam, guarantee them that if they capture and hand over the militants, they will be deeded a hectare of land, give them modern weapons, and turn them loose. The problem will be resolved in a few weeks. Too many Thais are Buddhists who don't like to harm other living things, or Muslims who don't want to fight their own kind. The Hmongs have neither problem. If Hmongs aren't available, try some Lao or Me tribesmen, or import some Karens from Burma.
