Latest global flash point


I only hope America are watching the latest flash point in the world. We all know what little excuse they need to invade a sovereign country to oust a despot regime.

In the latest twist, this country as a religous minority based in the poorest part of the country, they have their own insurgency which is causing them more trouble than they are worth. Routinely the minority are shot, arrested, tortured and generally be-littled by the majority of the population.

Only the other day following an insurgency attack on a mobile phone base station, a gang of heavily armed vigilanties, armed by the goverment shot dead 3 and wounded 3 unarmed Muslim youths for coming towards the fire. This is another tit for tat attack by local goverment rangers on unarmed youths.

The death toll as surpassed 3000 in the last five years, obviously now, the insurgents will have to attack and behead an innocent tribesman in retaliation etc etc.....

This country isn't Dafur, Nepal or Columbia! No this is Thailand. So being as its an ally of the US it can pretty well do as much as it likes in the name of the war on terror!

This post is a rant, i'm on no ones side, but this is going to overspill further north. Then when a Bali style bomb hits Bangkok, it will be interesting what drastic measures the Thai Goverment will take and get away with.
