Hmmmm....it's worth a try

The following is true, I took it straight off the news reader a minute ago:

The Thai government has dropped an estimated one hundred million paper origami birds in an unusual peace bid.

The birds were dropped by military planes over the country's Muslim south after a surge of violence in the area.

Ordinary Thais across the nation have folded and written peace messages on the paper cranes in a campaign devised by Prime Minister Thaksin.


I have always enjoyed my dealings with the Thai people. They have their own outlook on things. The origami cranes are thought in Japan to bring peace and happiness to those that recieve them, so the Prime Minister figured since he really needed peace down there in the restive south, he might ought to better drop a lot of cranes.

Interesting take on things.
Pace, out.
