Not even close. Shinawatra has been stepping on the toes of the powerful in Thailand, but a few months ago got involved in a major financial scandal. They have been having economic stability problems and political turmoil ever since. And Thais don't like turmoil.

Shinawatra has major support in the rural communities, the Army is going to stay away from there.

I'm guessing the King had something to do with this. So what's probably going to happen, the General will force Shinawatra to step down, and hold elections a few months from now.

There will be negotiations with the Muslims, they have honest grievances.

True.

For those that do not know Thailand's history:

The muslims make up 4 southern provinces which were annexed from Malaya (as it was then known). They have a different language, culture and religion. Thaksin pissed them all off and helped reignite a decades old struggle.

They will listen to Sondhi and the King.

"There will be negotiations with the Muslims, they have honest grievances"

Really.

And just what might those be?

Do the muzlimnazis in this (USA) country have valid grievances same as the thai nazis .... how about the palestinian nazis...same valid grievances. Etc..

Sorry hombre....muzlimnazis in the South have plumb used up the sympathy card for their "plight" and "grievances".

Killing kids/innocents/students and teachers will do that.

These turds can pick up and head from Yala and Pattani a short distance south and cross over into paradise aka Indonesia. They don't.

You -in my opinion must be seeing a world situation that most cannot see regarding these muzlimnazis.

Other than that, good insight into the Thaksin situation.
