I think Thailand was justified in its actions. I find it funny that some think it was an overreaction. If you see crazy guys coming at you with machetes, you would have open fired too.
Quotes like the following is hilarious:
Another relative, Wahah Chemu, 38, accused police of using excessive force. "These people only had machetes,'' said Chemu.
Oh yeah, people with machetes ready to hack you to death.

What give militants rights to terrorize people with violence and then turns around to cry foul when they get a taste of their own medicine?
