My own view is that the "donor" nations should be held more accountable. If there is any fault attributable to the Thai government it is their tolerance of a military dictatorship next door. It is that government that is responsible for the plight of the Karen people (and the other displaced hill tribes). I haven't seen many protests in Thailand over the plight of Ang Su Chi, the legal head of the Myanmar government who has just had her house arrest extended. Or of the continued campaign against the Karen people.

As FIP points out, one cannot be responsible for all and sundry. The line has to be drawn somewhere else everyone suffers! Fact of life I'm afraid.
