I wonder if their views of support have changed in all that has unfolded, or is it much of the same excuses?
With respect, you have your views and all that......
Who here has supported the violence, thuggary and general moronic behaviour displayed - and thats just talking about the behaviour of the so-called security forces.
Well actually, quite a few of you.
Violence begats violence, so just what did you think would happen at the end? Truth be told, in most other places, including the UK, they would never have been allowed to set up camp in the first place and efficency would have been pretty much the norm.
Talk, talk and talk and then try to talk some more, thats what should have happened, but we're not dealing with the west and western ways of dealing with things and western values, are we? So stop judging it by such measures.
I agree with others that have posted here, that this whole thing is now likely to go underground and this will only be resolved when something is ceded to what is now clearly a loose association of different groups that now come under the 'red' umbrella, although I would expect the use of 'red' to change now.
Do remember that about 70% of those protesting were extimated to have come from Bkk and its environs, but that will fall on deaf ears to this Govt. who just want any opposition smashed especially if its you know who and that hasn't been managed.
Maybe the next thread should be about the way forward? One guess is that Abhisit, who now has no credibility, certainly internationally and I would suspect with a large chunk of his own people and those with the power do what they like with him, will at some stage fade away as he's now a barrier for progress, if such a thing is possible?
