I saw in the papers the other day that even Thaksin is more popular than this mob. Surely that cannot be allowed to last for long.
I've thought this for some time. The only decisive thing the adminstration seems to have done is to vote themselves a 30% increase in the defence budget.

Remind me again why Thaksin had to go.

He ran a corrupt administration - to state that politicians are corrupt is a bit like saying business men wear suits - yes, and so what's new.

Thaksin tried to shackle the media - no change there then.

He formulated populist policies - is that supposed to be a bad thing?

Thaksin sold his company to a foreign entity - the swine, that's it then hanging is too good for him.

Methinks that Thais discovering that even though a company is owned by foreigners, life goes on, the sky doesn't fall in, rice farmers still grow rice, the middle classes still get to buy nice new shiny cars, is maybe a good thing.
