Not Telling
Abhisit had his chance to separate the reds from Thaksin, by bringing some red leaders into the government - he didn't take it.
Both sides want the whole cake.

The private companies can not sell weapons of war without government approval. After government approval the weapons are purchased by other governments. The business in the West is highly regulated. In some cases not only executive branch approval but congress as well. There are treaties and international agreements governing most international arms sales. That's why countries get upset when a rouge dealer comes in and ignores sanctions and embargoes that were put in place by individual countries or the UN.
So what you are saying is that you support corporatism?
I think he's saying he supports regulatory bodies in the arms industry. I think I do, too. It would mean that every war-grade weapon would be accounted for. You'd have to get everyone to fall in line though... that means private traders like Bout, N Korea, Thai soldiers who steal RPGs from their armouries and so on. Not easy I'd imagine. Or should I say impossible?
You've as much chance of regulating the banks.
To get back to topic:
I've read the book, AND seen the film -
so he's obviously guilty.
As if our media would in any way mislead us.
