no, I didn't mean you play any blame game iGotNoTime, but any truth-picking can very easily lead to that. imagine they need to acknowledge the existence of graves and explain what got them there. it is just very difficult to account for a group of Thai people being responsible (in a way)for the death of other Thais, it is hard to draw a line between fact and interpretation, bad guys and good guys, discussing history and pointing fingers. it can easily go the wrong way.

thank you KhunDon, that's exactly what I was going to look up for my next post. however, colonisation up here sounds like some nice philantropic idea, doesn't it? :-) developing should be cut out and substituted with exploiting.
