Comments on: PAD Shut Down Suvarnabhumi http://absolutelybangkok.com/pad-shut-down-suvarnabhumi/ The Portal for the Bangkok Connoisseur - The Elaborate & Profane of Big Mango Sun, 25 Jul 2010 02:43:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Backhome http://absolutelybangkok.com/pad-shut-down-suvarnabhumi/comment-page-1/#comment-2923 Backhome Thu, 04 Dec 2008 09:20:24 +0000 http://absolutelybangkok.com/?p=3052#comment-2923 Did I read somewhere what was mentioned in PAD's victory speech? That they left Thailand in a stronger position? That all Thai's are grateful for their actions? It's amusing to see no actions taken against the PAD. How can the people of Thailand tolerate the PAD who has helped Thailand lose more money than Thaksin could have ever taken for himself. It's the ultimate cut your nose to spite your face example. In all honesty, even with Thaksin leading, he may be lining his own pockets but in general Thailand was progressing. The people that retaliate were basically angry because their own pockets were not being lined as well ... and to make a point, they stall the overall progress of their own country. Where is the logic ... The ultimate failure of the previous government was that they did not make use of the opportunity to get rid of the PAD. Yes blood will be shed, but it is like removing a tumor. Now that you've played Mr. Nice Guy, the tumor has gotten rid of you. Is the PAD the new "Prime Minister" decider? Where is the democracy in this? Would have blood been shed, I doubt that people around the world would have felt sorry for the PAD. The government and people of Thailand had tolerated their tantrum long enough. Anywhere else in the world, those protesters would not even get to the taxi stand!

Now they are <a href="http://www.nationmultimedia.com/2008/12/03/business/business_30090140.php" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">sueing</a> the PAD and it looks like any coprporation with half a brain will divorce themselves from these terrorists before they bring all of Thailand's business sectors to their knees, if they haven't done so already.

Damned if you do and damned if you don't. Many people have pointed out that when they take action, they are murderers. When they back off, they are ineffective. What the heck are they supposed to do? The sad thing is that PAD could have participated in talks a long time ago as well. They are the party esculating this to try to bring violence, not the government.

Board of the Thai Airways resigned after the PAD got in to the airport. He is Thaksin's close friend. To be honest. I can't judge who is right or wrong in this situation. But at this moment should he be doing something other than running away? In this situation it can't be a win-win solution. But some one have to start doing something. I feel like the Gov. can initiate a talk long long ago, but refused to do so and wait till things get heated up to make an excuse to use force. I don't say that the PAD is right? But the Gov. could have done something for a long time. One thing to point out here. Board of the Thai Airways resigned after the PAD got in to the airport. He is Thaksin’s close friend.

And nothing. I mean: nothing to improve the situation. On the contrary, the PAD took control ... of the "control tower." Meanwhile, Anupong is having a "meeting." Great. And Somchai is drinking llama's milk. Well, to be fair, he must be on a plane, somewhere. <i>In the air</i>. This symbol suits him perfectly ... ;-) Air and wind and altitude ... I mean with such clowns, the PAD has really the easy part. Yeah me too: woke up. And nothing. I mean: nothing to improve the situation.

Can't help but feel sad that each time Thailand looks like it is moving ahead, something like this pops up and derails its development. I am just curious. In the midst of the economic crisis, don't these protestors need to work? Why are they able to camp out for 6 months? Which employers is signing 6 months leave for their workers to be full-time protestors? Who is feeding their families? Personally I feel that the PAD's claim to be loyal to the monarchy should have by now become a major embarrassment to the royal family. How does disrupting the functioning of the capital, trying to hijack democracy and denying the rights of rural Thais be condoned as acts of patriotism? Yet, the Bangkok elites and those who claim to be royalists seem quite happy to let the PAD have the run of the city? Just read the news.
