I sure think you can see the cross symbolic. Also think the insurgents acted very polite by killing the victim first. Their "friends" in Iraq and Afghanistan are not that subtle
But hey, neither were "we" in the Dark Ages.
Are the 4 provinces in the South that important to Thailand? The annexation of the area was only formalized in 1909, so evacuate the Buddhist minority and give it back to Malaya. Wrap it in nicely.. good luck with it.
While I don't feel PeterS and I would agree on much else, I do think the body being laid out in a crucifixion-esque manner is significant if only, like you mention, for its brutality if nothing else.
its pretty mindless stuff by the sounds of it either way. symbolic? theres no definate message in any of it. maybe they're radical conceptual artists but i doubt it.
Thanks for stopping by, Terry. Are you still on the radio?
occasionally. those bastards at the bbc tell me im out of touch though. how dare they? which is why i now post on thai related blogs, its the fast track back to being the king of broadcasting.
