"The Thai side strongly reiterates that the position of our troop deployments is clearly inside Thai territory,"
So, the Thai mentality is obvious: The zone, the Khmer soil being disputed, belongs to the Thais. This is why the Thai will commit their troops to the disputed zone.
So then, what is optimism about the attempt to resolve "this matter" peacefully? The Thais has already declared, at least in their mind, that "that piece" of Khmer soil belongs to the Thais.
Not to be a negative minded person, but I see that without international interference the disputed zone may once again become a dead zone.
And why do I insist that "that piece of land" is Khmer soil?
Well, not to mention of the long centuries old historical fact of the Khmer Empire that even the entire Thailand "belonged" to the Khmer Empire. But also in recent decade according to the agreement between Siam and France and the map drawn when the Preah Vihear was granted as a heritage to the Khmer the surrounding soil is within the "agreed map".
And a serious question here is will there be another nasty shootout between the two long time adversaries? Will it be a major clash that will draw outside forces to intervene?
