About 3.5 a day have been killed since the violence erupted afresh in January 2004,

Sgt Saipetch Chankrachang was killed today marking the first victim of December 2012. Commiserations to his family. I wonder if Sukhumpol has spoken to his family. What do you think ? I doubt it.

And the teachers were just convinced by the security forces that the roads to and from schools were now safe.

Still waiting for the fearless leadership of Yingluck, new defense minister, to formulate an end to the conflict, or even indicate she knows where Pattani is, or has the slightest interest in the weekly loss of life taking place there.
