Default Military Coup in the offing

You mean that Sondhi Limthongkul is a good man ? Thanksin was rich before he became PM.

You sort of miss the point with a new election. His past wrong doings and looting of the country aren't addressed by a new election. He can buy the popular vote but that doesn't make him eligible to hold the position; if a fraction of the allegations are proven he is indeed ineligible. Public protest is an essential part of democracy. That is what drives congresses/parliaments to impeach executive office holders.

Then stand for election and not to fight like gangster outside parliament! This is not democracy! See how the people fight against their presidents in US - Nixon and Clinton, they used the constitutional way.

This is democracy in action, where the public can force government change through political protest, in this case lead by Sonthi. The rule of law is what has been called into question by Thaksin's alleged despotism. A coup is inappropriate - public pressure and political action according to the constitution might be a little slow but it is the right way.

Hang that Sondhi Limthongkul and solve the problem. Thaksin is an elected leader of the country.
Sondhi should not fight like a gangster outside the parliament or court if he believe in democracy and rule of law
Gen Panlop should be sacked. Instead of talking nonsense, he should be making sure no riot is allowed.
