I totally agree that Thailand is not at "war" with Lebanon, Israel, the US, Iran, Hezbollah, etc. but that doesn't mean there aren't non-Thai targets in Thailand that Hezbollah (a proxy force for Iran) wouldn't be interested in the likely event of an Israeli bombing of Iranian targets. Again, evidence, Argentina.

Back to what the warning was about. If you think Hezbollah isn't still operational in Thailand, you are very naive. They have been here for years and are still here. Given the good chance that Israel will bomb Iran's nuclear targets in May or June, the terror potential certainly still exists here as if that happens Iran's proxies will be given the green light anywhere they can. Hezbollah is part of the elected government in Lebanon. Thailand isn't at war with Lebanon. Thailand is not at war with Iran, nor planning to attack them. More than that, Thailand made clear that they have a friendly relationship with these countries. And i think they made all pretty clear that they don't want get involved in your wars of terror. When you side with terrorists, expect to wake up without your head, elected or not elected, a terrorist is a terrorist is a terrorist. You mean there a cases where democratically elected governments can be also called terrorists? And for the sake of your own head the best choice is not to side up with them? Thailand doesn't want to bully, attack or terrorise anyone. Thailand foreign policy is to have friendly relationships with other countries, bases on mutual respect. Yes of course there are. "It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything". - Joseph Stalin Most people and countries do not want to bully anybody, but there are many that do want to bully, just look to the southern provinces, they want to bully the non members of their group to leave and bully Thailand into granting them an independent country, as if 57 countries of that group are not enough, maybe they have a long term plan, ya think?

You are just wrong: TOPIC: US Lifts Terror Alert In Thailand. Hezbollah will not launch terror attacks IN Thailand. Period. So please stop trolling or post things that are off topic. ARGENTINA??? #57

Nothing you have said refutes the fact that Hezbollah operatives were found in Thailand with bomb making material. It is naive at best and ignorant at worst to think that terrorist do not use nuetral, third-party countries in order to run their organizations. The only question is whether they intended to use the materials in Thailand to explode a device -or- whether the materials were slted for shipment overseas. Obviously, some of the materials were being shipped abroad. Had there not been a credible threat in Thailand, the alerts would not have been issued. Is that so hard to understand? #59

US lifts terrorism warning, seven other nations retain warning The Nation BANGKOK: -- The US government has lifted terrorism warning for its citizens who live and may travel to Thailand, Thai Foreign Minister Surapong Towichukchaikul said Monday. Surapong said seven other countries have not lifted the terrorism warning so he instructed Foreign Ministry Spokesman Thani Thongpakdi to call the embassies of the nations to consider lifting the warning. The seven other countries are Italy, Germany, Canada, Australia, Japan and South Korea. -- The Nation 2012-02-06 Maybe those countries have enough intelligence to remove the warning when what it was that caused them to put the warning in place has been sufficiently dealt with, besides, of course the Thai style, wishing, and hoping method of dealing with problems. #60

Why do these people mistakenly believe they have the right to commit these crimes against humanity?
There is no justification for it, nor can there ever be. Edited by wxyz, 2012-02-07 06:31:18. #61

PM: More countries lift their travel warnings for Thailand
BANGKOK, 7 February 2012 (NNT) - Prime Minister Yingluck Shinawatra said many countries, including the United States, have now lifted their travel warnings for Thailand following a widespread terror scare in Bangkok last month. After meeting with the chief of the U.S. intelligence unit, Prime Minister Yingluck said that several foreign countries have already canceled their travel advisories on Thailand due to their better understanding of the situation in the Kingdom. She revealed that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is now trying to convince the remaining 7 countries with warnings still in effect to follow suit. Foreign Minister Surapong Tovichakchaikul has expressed his gratitude to the U.S. for terminating the terrorist alert in the Kingdom. He added that the U.S. intelligence unit also agreed to Thailand’s request that consultation be sought first if any warning is to be issued in the future. During the meeting, the intelligence unit also congratulated Thailand for its improved relationships with Cambodia and Myanmar.  -- NNT 2012-02-07

yada yada yada,
it may not be on the http://bangkok.usembassy.gov/ home page but it is still there http://bangkok.usemb...ncymessage.html as well as here http://travel.state....s/cis_1040.html http://travel.state....pa/pa_4787.html "He added that the U.S. intelligence unit also agreed to Thailand’s request that consultation be sought first if any warning is to be issued in the future." That would be idiotic. Edited by wxyz, 2012-02-07 11:40:18. #63
