International planning, Thai execution

Commander: "Go to that big city in the south and plant the bombs at the international airport,  a high-class international hotel, and a high-class international shopping centre."
Recruit1: "Krap. When should I do it?"
Commander: "Oh, before the biggest holiday of the year, when everyone goes away."
Recruit1: "Krapom."
Commander: "Heheheh. That should paralyse their international tourism revenues at one stroke."
Recruit1: "Hehehehe krap."
....
Recruit1: "Here, Somchai, er what is the biggest city in the south, anyway?"
Recruit2: "Dunno. Hat Yai I think."
Recruit1: "OK. What's the biggest poshest hotel?"
Recruit2: "Dunno mate. Let's ask a travel agent."
....
Travel agent: "Yes sir, I assure you Green World Palace pays the most comm- I mean, has the highest standard of facilities for international businessmen, more than the Regency or Novotel. Can I also interest you in car hire?"
Recruits: "That's ok, we have our own transport thanks. By the way, what was that about the massage service?..."
....
Recruit1: "Ok, now all we need is the international shopping centre. How about Central?"
Recruit2: "Nah, that's a Thai company. My sister says Carrefour is bigger. And that's owned by a Western company."
Recruit1: "Ok, Carrefour it is. I hate everything Western. Hey, let's get another bottle to celebrate. Make it Spey Royal this time, not that local crap."
....
  -- 4th April 2005 --
Recruit1: "Pretty good huh?"
Commander: [Dreaming of hitting Amari Phuket etc at Christmas] Right, let's start from the beginning...

Whichever reincarnated user name you are, :o , keep up the excellent work. Extremely well written...

What makes you so sure that the bombers were Muslim?

Unless Tutsi warriors have infiltrated the south, I'd bet a months wages that muslims may have had a tad to do with it.....

Is it a police state you wish for? Or is it simply to be safe? If it's your safety then there are better ways to do it. I don't think anyone really wants a police state, even if it's intent is to keep you safe. For someone else to secure your safety is an impossiblity. Only you can do that. Besides, safety isn't worth the price of freedom.

what sickens me more is that other people of the same faith dont oppose to that....
other muslims(who disagree with these terrorists) should protest against these terrorists....if they dont the only signal we get is that they agree with the terrorists ideology...

PS: u visit any house in the deep south, u may find photos of osama bin ladden or saddam on their walls...

soi 4 has to be very dangerous now,

For awhile I have had butterflies when I go to NEP -( that might be because I always get the cheapest beer on the menu). It does seem an easy, soft target though, doesn't it.

We witnessed 6 weeks ago that the insurgents had mastered the art of manufacturing car bombs- and that was a significant new weaponry development, largely overlooked.

Why can't the Muslims who disargee with this stuff work to help turn these people in. There is most likely quite a few people who know who's doing what, and they are not saying anyhting.

Why can't the good policemen, military men and politicians do the same?

the others who dont turn these ppl in r because :-
1) they agree
2) they are afraid....of the guns, priests, what others may say about their faith....etc...

The only thing needed for the triamph of evil is when good people do nuthing...

good policemen and politiacians.....very rare find...
they would probably wont last long or stay at lower positions....if they try turnin somone in they would be penelty posted in some jungle or something...

seems like local terror groups are learning fast...
new technics, new approaches - the result would be exactly as they expect - fear and uncertainty between locals and probably military rule. I think I've seen something like this before - Europe, fires, some outlaw political party, murders, strong hand. History repeats itself

I heard that this whole mess re-energized in 2004 simply because Thaksin cut off the Mullahs' tea money - the covert state bribes they'd been pocketing to keep their noses clean.

Now its all snowballing, with Indonesian/Malay 'agents provocateur' no doubt becoming involved.

No point complaining. Noone complains about a cobra biting or a scorpion stinging.
It's their bloody nature, isn't it? Cut their heads off if you don't want cobras to bite. Fry them in oil if you don't want scorpions to sting.
But at least cobras treat their same kind and females better I think.

i guess its gettin a lil too racist in here...i guess some modding is required.

ive seen a lot of muslim thais in bangkok n even in south...
the current generation is not the extremist type and not as closed minded as the proper muslim form the mid-east.

we souldnt generalise the muslims as "the enemy".
maybe the terrorists happen to be muslims but it Does Not mean that all muslims r terrorists....i personally have many muslim friends...they abuse osama and saddam at any chance they get...

did anyone take responsibility for sunday blasts? was anyone arrested and convinced?
how come everybody claims muslim without even shred of evidence? How about copycat or some other group of distacted idiots? I think until court decide - the case is open and none should be blaimed.
McCarthy's America blaimed communists in every possible thing - economy, hippies, drugs and pornography.
Hitler's Germany blaimed jews, Pol Pot's Cambodia - capitalists and so on...
but none was sentenced in the open legal court.
Now there're poor southern muslims...

sorry if i offended some people, but i dont hear many Muslims defending their actions. I also have many Muslim friends, i am from Slough in the UK so nearly all my mates are either pakistani, bangladeshi or muslim... I may have several Muslim friends, but that does not stop one from seeing that there is a split between the Muslims and the rest of the world. It is not a racist argument... how can it be.. muslims are from many countries and racism is a nationalistic policy. The reality is that Muslims are attacking other religions because they want to separate themselves from the rest of the world... that is racism.

I understand that not all muslims are people who like chopping people's heads off or setting off bombs while crying out the name of their god. But if their beliefs are
it's right to support/protect those who do these instead of trying to help to stop it just because they are worshipping the same god, I really can't help being disrespectful. Do something FGS!!! Why do you have to be so difficult to understand??? I am a person who doesn't even hate snakes or scorpions!!
What have we people done to deserve this?

One dimension that is missing here is revenge. Revenge against the state. Once they've seen VCDs of Tak Bai crackdown, talked to each other about Krue Sue "massacre", about the "missing" lawer, about police torturing any one they can get hold of, there's a strong feeling of revenge. If you think about how police can get away with frying people's balls and pissing on them, and shamelessy claim moral superiority, and then snatch in the broad daylight the only person who tried to help, what feelings that might induce in people who feel closely affiliated with the victims? After that violence only feeds on itself.

I mean, those terrorists don't appear to have any long term plan for their struggle, no ideology, no political platform or tools. Even the leaders of well established separatist groups seem to be at a loss.

And now it just snowballed beyond any limits, to the point of no return.

Thanks for the input. You have a point, though not sure how true some of them are.

But it is really difficult to think of any excuses for those sort of behaviours.
Like seeing when innocent people being decapitated and telling myself that those people had no alternatives. And they are victims themselves as well.

I understand that there are quite a few million muslims in Thailand. Can't they just group up and voice out. And do something in a different way if they think they are so unfairly treated. The isaan people are poor. A lot of people are poor in Bangkok. Should they all start killing people? :o

I am a Malaysian and travel to Hat Yai quite often and this is what I told the guard that check my bike, I have got a bomb in my engine? What are you going to do about it...., they just laugh. This do not just happen in Lee Gardens Plaza but in Carrefour, Central as well. I think they are just doing it because they are doing it and its has never been effective. I was in Manila last year and I have to say that the security check in Manila is way much more efficient than what they are doing in Hat Yai. I think with this I really hope that the security dept of these complexes will look into. I think they should also look into the bag of customers going into any buildings as well.
