this is certainly a bad lesson to be learned for the military general by removing the legal elected by the people from power, it will only bring harm and instability to the country. like Abhisit administration it also damaging the image and reputation among the international community. please be peace for the future children. Cambodia must have ICJ clarify its interpretation again that ruled for Cambodia in 1962, just to make sure all the thai in this generation and the next to clear their thought. avoid repeating the misunderstanding in the future. and thai professors must teach children in an honest way. stop manipulating this issue in school. PAD need to stop being a trouble maker.

Time for Mr. AV to take a holiday to Dubai.

Maybe Mr. TS can give him a seminar on how to WIN 4 elections in a row, rather than LOOSE 4 in a row.

I still remember Jatuporn's words in the parliament saying that PT would win even election rules and system changed.

it is karma for Abhisit. it's time to let yourself go quietly. I had to see you go but for the sake of the border conflict, I'm happy to have someone else to deal with.

"Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva has pledged to step down as the Democrat leader if his party wins significantly less than the 165 seats it captured in the last election in 2007."
