Thai peace plan proves paper thin

Post by buksida »

BANGKOK - Thailand air-dropped more than 100 million paper "birds of peace" onto the Muslim-majority south on Sunday, despite complaints it would create tons of garbage and not lessen anger against the army, blamed for the suffocation deaths of 78 Muslim men at Tak Bai district police station in Narathiwat in late October.

Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra. said, "Whoever picks up the bird I have folded will be given a job if they need it"

They'll certainly be needing a few road sweepers down there Mr PM. Full Story

As if they expected it would appease the south. The bombs the next day showed how totally naive the stunt was - unfortunately.
Pathetic.
