A very interesting take on the matter. And I note that ASTV/News1 (Sonthi's channel) appears to be putting Mme. Yingluck in a bad light, while giving sympathetic coverage to the beleaguered mayor of Bangkok (name forgotten).
On the other hand, I wonder about the extent to which the Thai public-at-large will come to share the same sentiments, esp. the rural masses of the north and northeast who are Thaksin's bedrock supporters? A lot of them will probably be content to see Bangkok flooded so badly that the city can never recover.
(And the latter outcome seems a real possibility, no matter how many Dutch hydraulic engineers the World Bank can send to work on the problem. Seriously!)
