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!!

Since you seem to get all your news from Google, try searching for the keywords, "Tak Bai" and "Krue Se". It will give you a better idea of how the Army, under Sondhi, prefers to deal with the southern problems.
