There is no such thing as a good read when it comes to Thai politics. Who are you trying to kid?

Yes thanks for posting that Richard, a very interesting article. A couple of things I hadn't appreciated was the low 35% share of the vote when Thaksin came to power and his links with that horrible bunch at the Carlyle group.

A very a good outline of what's happened and what's bound to happen. I can see how the junta might be thinking, worried that the U.S. is meddling too much inside Thailand's borders, trying to destabilize things enough to await the call to rescue democracy. LOL Meanwhile, China walks through the backdoor and gets a warm welcome from the junta. Well done, U.S.
