Most worryingly, the juwae are apparently not interested in talking peace, despite Bangkok's post-Thaksin eagerness to do so. Surayud's fresh approach has had no impact on the daily diet of bomb blasts, shoot-outs and beheadings. "The government has sent some encouraging signals, but it will need to go much further if it hopes to stem the killings," says Francesca Lawe-Davies, a Southeast Asia analyst with the International Crisis Group.
