Re: Bangkok Field Report

i understand why you guys are upset with PAD because of the fact that your trip to BKK is affected. you guys feel that PAD and just thugs and criminals but maybe its time you have another perspective at what is going on here.

just think about the following points.

thai people love the king and it is absurb to suggest that the king is behind all these just to topple Thaksin and PPP.

why would the king be jealous of Thaksin? no matter what Thaksin does he will never be the king. The current monarch is the longest serving monarch ever and even the anti-PAD people will choose the thai king over Thaksin anytime.

if the king really wants Thaksin out he can come out openly to say it but so far he has remain above politics.

if Thaksin loves and respect the king then why does he wants to change Thailand to a republic?

i believe that all the high level positions in the army and police are appointed by the government but why are they still not helping Thaksin?

i know this is not the best solution the way PAD goes about doing their protest but i guess there is no other way to force out Thaksin and his cronies.
