Popular Post Kabinretiree Posted September 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2012 Has the whole world gone stark raving mad over the past 48 hours? Are Chinese sympathisers going to start burning down Japanese factories? Are Muslims going to start hurling rocks at the US Embassy? IMHO this is all the result of spending cuts to the Education process and lack of quality education for the masses. You’ve got uneducated, mindless morons running around out there , following mob rule without a rational thought in their head. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post giddyup Posted September 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2012 I believe the US embassy in Bangkok has been closed today as they anticipate demonstrations. The middle east uses any excuse to riot and burn American flags. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisinth Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 You can all but guarantee there will be extremists scattered through the demonstrators today. The warning from the American embassy and the closing of the embassy, IMO is fully justified. Bkk could be a dangerous place for Americans today. Be careful out there, if you have to be there!

DP25 Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Is Thailand next? Did you forget what happened in 2010 when an armed militia took over the city center, barricaded the streets, started shooting grenades at the skytrain, invaded hospitals, shot soldiers and police, and burned down a bunch of building? This type of madness has happened in Thailand before and will happen again. Just be glad it's never been focused on foriegners. I wouldn't want to be a Japanese expat in China right now, and if this conflict gets more serious and the US backs up Japan I wouldn't want to be a white expat there either.

Popular Post F1fanatic Posted September 18, 2012 Popular Post Share Posted September 18, 2012 Unfortunately, Western countries "trying to make it a better world" by interfering and/or getting involved in wars in other countries, has not helped either those countries or the average citizen in their own countries.

There was far more stability under ruthless dictators. I agree that America should leave that whole region to bicker and fight amongst themselves. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a certain US president and a certain a*se kissing British Prime minister hadn't gotten us involved in Iraq under faulse claims of WMD, Things might have been different now.

mrtoad Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 These morons will use any excuse for a dust up. The fact that the offending movie was made by an Egyptian, seems to be totally lost on them. I don't think The US can be held responsible for the idiocy of one individual, but it suits the agenda of these repressive fools. As for China and Japan, that's a long standing one as well. At least with Thailand, the violent protests are fairly new and I can't see in a 1,000 years people talking about The Prophet Thaksin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The movie was only an excuse, the attacks on the US embassies occurred on 9/11, not a coincidence and not spontaneous either. They blame the west for all their ills.

cmsally Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Don't worry I'm sure it will get sorted, after all isn't Tony Blair still the Middle East "Peace" Envoy?

That was the catalyst to all the resentment towards the west. IMHO! Sent from my GT-P6200 using Thaivisa Connect App Differing opinions on this - some people say it all began to heat up with the US parallel support and weapons supply to Israel and the Islamic dictatorships. Didn't help when the US supported Saddam in his unprovoked attack on Iran to undermine the Iranian Shiite regime and as you say the invasion of Iraq.. Now we have this four way conflict between Western powers, Shiite, Sunni and the anti western extremists.. As someone mentioned in the overall interest is it in the best interest for western countries to cease engagement. is it best to cease direct involvement and increase the channel of support via Saudi Arabia and Qatar, as is currently happening with Syria and Libya. Downside is the exposure for increasing the influence of the extremists, Russia and China. A very complex scenario for western government policy makers.

The difference now is that there are more people in the world and better communications. It's not long ago that my grandfather went to war and wasn't heard of again till he turned up again at his own front door some years later.

Its the will of Allah As giddyup pointed out - its 'cos they blame the Western world for all their problems. They have some justification for this, but fail to realise that many of their problems are caused by their own leaders - both political and religious - who, like our own leaders, lie to them and distort their religion. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
