Chris Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Peace zones for south Thailand BANGKOK: Thailand's government plans to set up ?peace zones? in southern provinces to curb mounting unrest that has been linked to Islamic separatists, a minister said yesterday. ?We will announce a peace zone, an area that should not have much violence so that people can feel comfortable,? Defence Minister Thammarak Issarangkura Na Ayutthaya said Thailand never fails to amaze me. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJTX Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 "so that people can feel comfortable". I guess that means that if you don't live in one of the "Peace Zones" you should be scared sh**less... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loburt Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 It won't, that's the whole point. Then when those perpetrating the violence kill someone in a "peace zone," Thaksin will have his excuse to go back to the violent and hardline methods that are his true nature.

Loburt Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 If you were here, Charlie, Thaksin would probably have you arrested for suggesting that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, if what you say is true Loburt (and I have no reason to doubt it), it really sounds like a horribly cynical political stunt - he is basically willing an incident to occur, so that he can justify actions as "necessary reaction"?? Now thats a bit sneaky :x Well, I think it's a given that an incident will occur. And he knows that. A horribly cynical political stunt? From the Dear Leader? Never.

princesspink Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 Does that mean they will have free battle zone outside that area? :shock: hahaha! I love that one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlinho Posted June 26, 2005 Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 Does that mean they will have free battle zone outside that area? :shock: but at least you will be able to get a gun for good price outside of the peace zone...well, as long as you are a teacher with a passion for the die hard-movies.
