"Conflict and Terrorism in Southern Thailand" is certainly not the best book/article to read on the violence. I generally agree with the critique on the book. I read it recently and was surprised by some of the mistakes and seemingly complete lack of local knowledge.

Fair point. But to me McCargo's dislike of Thaksin seems to cloud his judgement. I think it is necessary to distinguish between personal comments/editorials and academic writing. I certainly wouldn't be openly partisan in any academic writing. I made a presentation once on the violence in the 3 southern border provinces and criticised TRT's policy on using martial law. By the line of questioning, I don't doubt I was perceived
as anti-TRT.

Now, McCargo on the link between religion and politics in Thailand is very readable.

But I believed McCargo challenged other scholars to prove otherwise, and so if this is the line of work you`re engaged in, I wish you the best of luck.
When I say internatiional factors, I also mean access to the media and the internet and events elsewhere in the world. Events like East Timor, Iraq, and Afghanistan have proved unifying factors for some radical Muslims elsewhere.

Prior to January 2004, the main target of attacks were police and military officials in rural areas, but since January 2004 there has been a noticed shift in to attacking civilians in urban areas, Buddhists in particular. It is also how some Buddhists are killed with beheading, copying tactics used elsewhere, Iraq in particular.

The extent to which exertnal factors have been used to radicalise some of the younger Muslims is difficult to establish.

I understand McCargo needs to have his thesis statement, but (from a quick re-read) he doesn't seem to acknowledge other factors at all. Not a footnote reference or anything.

That is enough from me for now.

I wonder about the credibility of "Finland Declaration". Although I am not a fan of the dear leader, things are getting out of hand lately.

The charges against Taksin and his cronies, if it is true with solid evidence, it could land them in jail forever. But where is the evidence?

Another example, Mr. Kraisak Chunnawan claimed the presence of mass graves. His implication was that there was a mass murder of southern Muslim.

Is that true? Or could they be muslim graveyards? whatever they are.

You may think why everything popped up simultaneously? Is there a coincedence behind this?? But it works since people always believe there is something sinister going on, always was.

Sonthi himself is a stalinist who uses all means to crush opponents. He is another Taksin in disguise. Dr. Chaianan was once in Taksin's circle. How much benefit he got from Taksin...we will never know. Why he switched side....we will never know. And was that Chamlong who brought Taksin to Thai politics? Now the noble Obiwan realised he made a monster. He will correct it at all costs.

It turns nasty as I agree to Dr. Pansak "Black Propaganda". (There is nothing wrong about drinking wine or listening to classical music) But feeding people with fears and panaroids is the most dangerous achievement in Thai politics. And Thai society pays the price.

What if someone tells you what we are posting in 2BKK.com has been monitered by CIA and our regulars here actually work for MI6.

Wooly Jumpers!

It's no coincidence that this stuff is emerging. When you run a country with the philosophy that you are herding a bunch of sheep, you can hardly complain when they all go charging off in an unintended direction because you didn't quite get round to closing every gate and blocking every hole in the hedge. To sheep, any hole in the hedge is an opportunity not to be missed. Even if it leads to a minefield.

Well, Sanator Kraisak's Allegation of Mass Graves has been confirmed by Khunying Pornthip .... even though Ai Khongsak is trying to discredit the claim....

Now, the MP of Rajburi has been GUNNED DOWN since SHE was trying to GET OUT of TRT ... so Thaksin has to order the Army/Police to GUN Her down ... and the police who are supposed to protect that MP are actually spies who give the info abotu the position to the gunmen ....

My wife's original attitude was that the TRT may be corrupt, but the Democrats even more so. She's since changed her mind and now thinks they're both pretty much equally corrupt, but that the TRT is more dangerous because the Democrats are at least incompetent. In other words, they're bad, but at least they're slow.

Frankly I can't think of many people who aren't "economically motivated" - what exactly are the Democrats planning on running on?

This is what kills me - how do silver-spoon elites like Thaksin (or GW Bush for that matter) pass themselves off as good 'ol boys? It's a total snow job; Democrats (Thai and US) only have themselves to blame for this.

I've been quite surprised at the level of autonomy available at the local level if anyone bothers to exercise it. I had always assumed that Thailand was very centrally run, but what I've seen upcountry is that much of this is based on budget allocations. A municipal mayor or provincial authority using local funds can do quite a bit if they wanted to - but of course a lot of local politics is precisely about getting central funds.

Why don't the Democrats (or anyone else for that matter) see the opportunity in local government? The Republicans in the US and even Hamas saw it and rode it to power. Lessons don't seem to make it over here.

BTW - I sent you a private email, did you get it?

Well, if the current shooting of TRT MP of Rajburi was committed by Mafia outside TRT, it is an implication that the policy to destroy the influential person is NOT working at all ...

Same thing can be said to the surge of SPeed pills alogn with Ecstacy pills ....There is a rumour that The Great Leader have connections with Burmese Junta so he ALLOWS the speed pills to keep the poor youths under influence as the way to forget aboyut the poilicy failture in other fields .... Even worse he allows Ecstacy pills feed his own children so they can commit orgies as they please ... while extracting more moeny from well-to-do kids.

If this rumour above is TRUE, this would make ABBOT Koon to exclaim that:

"Darn Burn it! I NEVER thought Ai Thaksin and co. are such SOBs! It is even worse than Ai Chuan and Ai Uan [Chawalit]"

There is an article in Matichon Weekly about Finland Declaration. Very interesting, if anyone could translate it into English.

Yes!, the one with Taksin & Santa on the cover!!

Half truth is more dangerous than a lie itself.

Separatism Schism

Admin has created a new thread on the 'Southern Issue', by moving a number of really interesting posts that materialised in this thread.

Couldn't help noting, when I logged in, that the new thread may be hidden to those people who habitually use the 'NEW POSTS' button, as Nekochan's post below is more recent than any in the new thread.

So here's a quick link to show where those posts have gone:-

Opinion 15:
"We have a good father .... While Thai people aroudn the country show their loyalty of His Majesty, there are some HIGHBROW intelectual who show MORE respect to Marx, Lenin, Chairman Mao Tse Tung , Hochiminh as theri own FATHERs than our His Majesty ... You can as who are those Highbrow professors by asking thsoe students in Thammasart and Mahidol .... "

"Even Worse, those highbrow professors consider the self-sufficient policy of Hia Majesty as the Principle coming from their little red books for poletariates written by Chaiman Mao. It must be wrogn copulation of thier parents so thsoe highbrow professors have come into being in Thailand!"
