That is certainly how I feel -- I can't support people whose modus operandi is 'do nothing significant except look like big shots and sustain big shot status', and that seems to be the mold for not only Thai politicians, but entrenched power Thais in general.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it would be better if a Burma-style junta were established in Thailand, at least then the ruse would be up and the people of Thailand and the world could better see the need for substantive change.<BR/><BR/>As it is, expect nothing more than changing the political window dressing, as seems to happen every few years. Hope for more, but recognize that if history is any guide, in all likelihood it will be most of the same inept and incompetent politicians of the past in power in the future.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07995506880630386688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7162482350304935910.post-12913267696530212032007-07-22T08:07:00.000+07:002007-07-22T08:07:00.000+07:00Oh well Fonzi . . .

The remnants of the TRT rag-tag pirates (policies galore, trickle-down to the poor corruption benefits and tax-free perks to the ministers & wives)? Or the old-style corrupts Banharn and Sanan?<BR/><BR/>Or maybe deep inside you are rooting that General Sonthi should really go into politics and put up his own party so you can vote for the constitutionally-upright, corrupt-fighting, very patriotic very politically-correct Fatigues Party?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
