I am no expert on the Thai Cambodian feud but it does remind me of the Malaysian Singapore spats whenever both sides need a bogeyman to divert people from its own internal problems.

Why would any of these countries risks going to war over a temple? If ownership of the temple had implications over the ownership of the vast oil and gas fields further south in the South China Sea.

So now we know.
