THAI JUNTA PROMISES MORE APPEASEMENT AS JIHADISTS MURDER THAI SOLDIER

"Reuters": Thailand's Junta will ...
"... drop some charges against 58 Muslims involved in a 2004 protest in the restive far south that led to 78 Muslims dying in army custody, Defence Minister Boonrawd Somtat said on Friday. The move would be a major gesture [APPEASEMENT] by the mainly Buddhist administration [NOW LED BY A MUSLIM GENERAL] in Bangkok to the Muslim majority in the three southernmost provinces, where more than 1,700 people have been killed [MOSTLY BUDDHISTS MURDERED BY MUSLIMS] in nearly three years of separatist violence [JIHAD]. It would also signal a break with the "iron fist" policy of ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who refused to censure army, police or government officials after the incident in the town of Tak Bai.
And how do the Thai Jihadists greet the announcement of more appeasement!? AFP:
A soldier was shot dead by suspected insurgents Friday while patrolling a busy morning market in southern Thailand's restive Muslim-majority provinces, police said. The militants stole his M16 semiautomatic rifle before fleeing the market in Pattani, one of three provinces hit by a nearly three-year insurgency that has left more than 1,500 dead.
Time and time again, history has proven that appeasement only emboldens the enemy. This news from Thailand is simply MORE proof. This enemy cannot be appeased or contained. They must be attacked and defeated. Utterly. And everywhere: Gaza; Anbar; Khandahar; Pattani; Darfur; and in Gothenberg and London and Paris. If governments - from France to Iraq, and from Afghanistan to Thailand - won't combat the jihadists, then soon - and more and more - the people will do whatever they feel they have to to defend themselves... but by then, it might be too late.
