Australian think tank warns of 'febrile' atmosphere in Thailand after ICJ ruling

The Cambodia Herald - The Lowy Institute for International Policy has warned of the feverish atmosphere in Thailand following Monday's ruling by the International Court of Justice on the Preah Vihear temple.

The unanimous ruling affirmed the court’s 1962 decision to award sovereignty over the temple to Cambodia and clarified the sovereignty over land surrounding the temple.

"The court effectively ruled that the topographic ’peninsula’ on which the Preah Vihear temple is built is Cambodian territory while land beyond the peninsula is Thai," the Lowy Interpreter said in a commentary published Tuesday.

"The practical result is that the Thai Government is now obligated to remove its troops and other government representatives from areas close to the temple.

"Politically, the ICJ decision comes close to being a ’win-win’ result for the two governments, and it has been welcomed as such by Thai and Cambodian ministers," it said.

The blog by the Sydney-based think tank said there was "little appetite in Cambodia for further confrontation on this issue.

"But the political atmosphere in Thailand (and especially Bangkok) is febrile, as debate over the issue of amnesties for those involved in the 2010 Yellow Shirt-Red Shirt protests continues to generate strong feelings.

"Ultra-patriotic groups may try to gain political advantage from the ICJ’s decision by attacking the Thai Government as being weak in protecting national interests."

Febrile.

The tank must have thought long and hard to come up with that word.

What a load of crap!!

May I suggest that the socalled "think tank" visits the country, they are writing about!!

The febrile atmosphere in Thailand are caused by little darlings like this one:

And not by the ICJ-ruling!!

Same here, took a long time to explain the real meaning of "Febrile"

[Somtamnication]

My doctor said to eat a lot of febrile to stay regular. 8-)

[lemonjelly]

Sounds more like a nasty rash

They can't . Australians only visit Phuket

by the way your Thai beauties pictures are getting better

[Thai at Heart]

I didn't realise that febrile meant "to act in a childlike fashion and to stamp one's feet like a spoiled brat because one didn't get one's own way".

[simple1]

A clever description. Febrile "A febrile seizure is a convulsion in a child triggered by a fever"

Well spotted, Bruce...!

Do you know anything about the Lowy Institute ?? Obviously not with a comment like this one. They are at the leading edge of Australia's foriegn policy. More than qualified to make observations on what's going on in SEA.

Well as it has been stated by many different media sources Australia has no culture so I'm not exactly sure what the think tank is truly basing their thoughts on?

[Robby nz]

I suspect there is something lost in the translation here, the name should be drink tank.

[bigbamboo]

I think the Aussies must be jealous that they've no longer got their own 'Smart Lady' leading their country like the Thais have.

[chainarong]

The only thing about this write up, it has made me feverish, however , not as bad as the PTP which make me sick

[chooka]

.

Febrile.

yea those uneducated bogans down under, swilling piss and checking out the shielas between raising their left cheeks for farting competition passed around the bloody the thesaurus.

Crickie Bruce, what's that you got there cobber?

Fawked if I know Bruce but it's bloody heavy and has lot's of words in it.

Pass it here you old bugger before you hurt yourself, how does it work anyway?

Fawked if I know Bruce, no bloody instructions on the fawking thing.

Get me a beer a Bruce whilst I tamper with this bitch. Where you been bruce?

Went to the dunny and it kept flushing by itself. I went back and it did again, then it told me to fawk off. So Bruce have you opened the thing yet?

Dunno Bruce been opening the cover 50 times.

Need to find a word Bruce, what about this one?

Oh you stupid bugger Bruce, your as steady as a kangaroo on heat and spilt your beer all over the words.

How about this one Bruce, "Febrile"

What does it mean Bruce?

Dunno Bruce all the ink has run and blurred.

Not Aussie Bashing as I am an Aussie..............................................

_{They couldn't really say publicly, that Thailand was having a hissy-fit, so they thought long and hard in their tank and came up with that one, for a fee of course.}

[catweazle]

Would be nice to know how much salary those "think tanks" get to convert their intellectually inferior febrile brain seizures into news flashes that make headlines worldwide... Sometimes I just sit and wonder...

Reminds me of a clip of Monkey Dust, where the script was written by hens:

Maybe because Australia was only a very very tiny British penal colony compared to the U.S. A little like comparing elephant <deleted> to fly <deleted>.

[redutedog1]

makes me ashamed to be an Aussie how the hell would these fools know what is going on, and if they have anything to do with the Liberal party would not know shit from clay

[little mary sunshine]

Oh, Australia has a "think tank" ? It must be 80 proof.................

Great. Now we have to resort to a think-tank full of ex politicos know-it-alls to tell us how to think.

I can think independently, mind you. It is the sheep that listen to these clowns, because they cannot make up their minds otherwise.

Now, I am on my way to buy some Raisin Bran. My daily febrile diet is awaiting me, as I missed one shit already. 8-)

Well we are not the U.S or Europe but Yep we do have the capacity to think. The world is quite welcome to come and join us and you will be amazed by the things we have given you.

[davejones]

Had to visit the doctor today due to a high fever. He told me there was a lot it going around, apparently due to some court ruling in Europe.
