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.
"My Hobby" wrote in message ...
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.

Again: you talk what you know, Taksin became only really rich when in
Giovernment - before only a small sales man.

K Chabon,

I said Thanksin was rich before he became PM.

Thaksin became The 23rd Prime Minister of Thailand on February 9,2001.

Sondhi Limthongkul is playing with fire.

He started as a cop. One can only wonder whether it was clean cop or dirty
cop...

Only Prime Minister allowed to get rich in politics in Thailand? :-) He
didn't get to the top based on his social skills.

Surely, he is better than those military men who took power by force. He
stand for democratic election and has landslide victory. He represent the
party and the people elected him as PM. He has largely delivered on his
promises to revive Thailand's fortunes after the 1997 Asian financial crisis
and has proved a popular leader.

Not necessarily. How he took power is one thing, but as far as running the
show I'd say he is one of the worst.

He stand for democratic election and has landslide victory.


It just goes to show how stupid & easily bribed the majority of ANY country
is. Promise them 1 million baht per village & 30 baht medical & of course you
will get a landslide victory. Whether it totally wrecks the country 2
generations down the road isn't on the minds of most voters.

party and the people elected him as PM. He has largely delivered on his
promises to revive Thailand's fortunes after the 1997 Asian financial crisis


You must be reading different reports than me.

I'm sorry, but I haven't liked the guy from Day 1. He's gone about "fixing"
the drug problem by arbitrarily bumping off 2000 people including undoubtedly
innocent people - no change in the drug problem.

He's been ham-fisted in trying to solve the problems in the South, and
undoubtedly made them worse.

He's either stupid or corrupt as far as his business dealings & shuffling
about of shares go, and he's not stupid.

Which countries are you talking about which are democratic and don't
