"I LIVE IN THAILAND. I don't need yahoo.com to get my news"

KJ, it is easy to get frustrated fighting the MSM "news" stories (not to mention general hallucinations) foisted on the American public.

After I went through the Cambodia coup in 1997, I spent days trying to explain simple truths to friends and family back in the States. Simple stuff, like there were no extra-judicial hit squads driving around the streets of Phnom Penh and shooting up the place, which the American MSM was reporting *two weeks* after everything had abated.

It didn't end with that, it was simply the most egregious of the exaggerated "news stories" submitted by journos to keep their rather cushy assignments in Phnom Penh. All the rumor fit to print (and which *my* plugged-in and local acquaintances said was flatly untrue or greatly exaggerated).

General Sondhi Boonyaratkalin, said last week that the government should rethink its strategy and engage the insurgents in dialogue rather than just arresting or killing them.

"Currently we are hitting the snakes at their tails, and that never makes snakes die," he said. "The strategy must be to talk with the snakes. It is necessary to talk to make lasting peace."

His criticism came after Mr Thaksin accused the military of not doing enough to rein in the fighters he regards as terrorists.

ENOUGH SAID!!

The problem isn't the MSM in this case, it is the absolute ignorance of people who refuse to see facts and let go of whatever agenda they are trying to push.

The facts, as of now, is Thailand is in a much better position to move forward as a nation than it has been in the past 6 months. A lot of very positive things have happened today including Sondhi appointing a committee to look into corruption and the King giving his blessing to what has happened. Of course, these things are not reported on, only how Muslims now control the government. LOL.
