Every Defence Minister knows that putting troops close to foreign troops in a confirm area will give trigger happy soldiers the opportunity to start a war. China and Indian went to war along its border in the Himalayas, its good thing the war did not escalate into a nuclear war. Even in latin america there have been crashes with casulties on both side. War is the extensive of politics.
If bangkok think it can gain votes by going to war with cambodia then it will regret when the final bills come, it is the population that bares the cost and its consequence.

Fighting each other is not a good solution. I learned that Thai government did not want help from Asian Community, UN or International Court. Why?
If we intend to solve the problem bilaterally, why Thai parliament has not provided approval on the three JBC minutes? It is already for two years now. Thai government should has real willingness and commitment to solve the border dispute with Cambodia.
