Military Coup

Seems that they claim it is merely dethroning the PM and holding new elections. I surely hope that is correct.

Indeed...and that the two rival loyalist elements of the army don't turn this coup into a civil war. I can't see the King letting it get that far though.

Watch and wait situation. :hmm:

Apparently they are tired of the globalization/free trade policies of multi-national corporatism as this excerpt from the MSNBC stroy points out:

Thaksin’s critics want to jettison his policies promoting privatization, free trade agreements and CEO-style administration.

So the Thais want to keep Thailand Thai.

And it seems the king was in on it afterall.

And explosion of corruption under that now fired premier had been pointed out in German TV.
