Was Thaksin a better monkey than the rest of us ?
As the country is slipping slowly into cahos 1997 style, I am starting to think that Thaksin was at least a monkey with more clues than the rest of them.
Could explain his "authoritarian management style" as he was surrounded by clueless monkeys in his own government.
Too bad his arrogance and determination was his own undoing.
Thaksin, a Thai too westernized who tried to shove it to the Thais ala farang style ?
His impatience with his Thai compatriots reminded me some of the local farangs reaction to Thai incompetence. Maybe it was the only way to do it.
I was afraid of this will happen when he got thrown out, the new crowd was much worse than the old crowd with a greater "moral Thai" agenda. The only good news out of this would be the Democrat Party taking over the country in the next election.
Thaksin, visionary or fraud ?
