Bangkoktraveler Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hard to believe such shit goes on, but then when I think about it, it looks like some lives are worth just about nothing in the eyes of some. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Yes, this is a disgusting situation, it's genocide, just in a slow secretive manner. These poor people. What can be done? As no state is intervening and people are dying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh_Hoy Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 What can be done? As no state is intervening and people are dying. Yep. Unfortunately, if the U.S. intervened, it would be called "all about oil" ASEAN, it would seem, would be the likely interveners, but we know all about that organization. Forget about the U.N. How about France or Germany? They haven't antied up lately. France get tired or their SEA forays? Well, the Germans, you'd think, be frothing at the mouth to export some more beer bars if they won out. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
