Fat Haggis Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 DJJamie, here's real terrorism and terrorists for you, it's a shame you just can't remove the Rhetorical Political blinkers when all you believe is that the word terrorist and terrorism only applies to the hardliners of the UDD.. I wonder if the teacher who was targeted shares your narrow minded opinion!! ?? Not to worry though as the PM stated last year that the insurgency will be all over and sorted by 2015, he's got 11 months left, good luck with that, as his words will more than likely mirror GWB's "Mission Accomplished" statement about Iraq. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ggt Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thailand has not addressed the Muslim terrorist issue with the resources to squash these radicals...that area of Thailand will remain unsafe for hardworking Thais and their families until it is dealt with properly... May have to adopt a "scorched earth" program to root these thugs from their hiding places...make it too uncomfortable to live there...move back to Malaysia...

augustwest Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 Thailand should see if they can work out a deal with Malaysia and return the provinces they annexed from them. Problem solved. I can't see any economic advantage in keeping it,and fighting it is useless and will never bring peace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The South is a Democrat stronghold from Thai rubber farmers backing the Democrat Party. Thai farmers backed the Prayuth Junta overthrow of the Yingluck government. The South supports illegal petrol importing and human trafficking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
