Thread: Thaksin: Let's put unity before justice

"If you don't want to reconcile, I don't mind living abroad. But you should think who would benefit from the continuing fight because only arms merchants will become rich."

Which sounds very much like he is telling the Reds to shut up about justice or there will be... what? Civil war? Government killing of Reds?

Considering that the government is PT, you have to wonder.

On the other hand, I haven't seen this quote elsewhere. Anyone?
