US embassy cable - 05BANGKOK5772

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

discussions and is willing to do so again.

Cambodia through Thailand and also that there are now excess 
arms available in Indonesia due to the recent Aceh peace 
agreement.
