Jake: Hit it.

Also, I wonder if anyone is gonna do anything about it? Will we send peacekeepers

Time to head back to that Mail Order Bride website and see if they'll accept a lowball offer! :D



Seriously though so far it doesn't look too bad. So far the only thing I've heard that worries me is a report that they have blocked out broadcasts from the BBC. Apart from that it looks like something did need to be done about the prime minister who was there.

Thailand has a history of this kinda stuff, on the whole though nothing major really comes about it, A change of gouverment and lil blood shed. Nothing to worry about.

Thaksin was an idiot and needed to be ousted. Yes, he did good things for the poor, but he turned the entire southern Thailand and Northern Malaysia into a breeding ground for Al'Qaida recruits.

It shouldn't have been the military to take him out though, but I suppose it got to the stage where they had to march in and do it. My dad lives and works in Bangkok and so far the only implications the martial law has proved for him is that his school is closed for the day.

Wait, the military doing a coup to restore democracy? People doing the right thing? What is wrong with world! :shaking:

On a side note, I never knew they had a king in the first place.
