The House dissolution in Sept and Election in Nov is a commitment by the government to the whole country and not just to the RED protesters. That's 4 months away for House dissolution and 6 months away for election. To win the 6 months wait time at the expense of lives, instability and throwing the ...

Dear Ahimaska - forum may 08, Bangkok Post's forum isn't a venue for slanging matches but let me make a couple of things clear regarding my comment - :| Dear Ian, It was not my intention to slang in my comments on May 08.
