1,500 people were killed yesterday?

As ASA said, in a word, "No."

I haven't been following it closely, and I will not begin just because of the islamonuts actions, but there has been some Thai and Malay muzzie seperatist Chechen-like type terrorism simmering down there for a long time.

Now I suppose the general thinks he'll just take over the government 'to give them a democratic voice.'

Freaking dictatorial whack-a-mole we got going on these days.

These same groups were causing the same type of trouble back in the 60's.
Then though they were using the cover term "communists" in trying to convince the world they were more wide spread than they were.
They also were trying to garner support from the real commies infiltrating upcountry.

Now I suppose the general thinks he'll just take over the government 'to give them a democratic voice.'

General Sondhi will negotiate in the style of Korben Dallas.
