Not Telling
Fingers crossed all goes well for Thai and the fears of Civil War are just that, just fears.
Then again, taking sides against an objective "middle path" is just the thing for rousing the fears and anger of those with too little, and the greed and controlling nature of those with too much.
Now's the time when a little good will could go a long way.
Taksin had his chance, years ago, to unite the country and lead it into the 21st century, and blew it - huge - criminally so... It's sad to say "we" are resigned to "'Hopefully' the next "leader" won't..." But with little more to work with than Sides Taking, and frustration and inequity in the balance, only one that truly cares about Thai and its people will be able to lead them away from a future of regrets...
Chahk Dee!

I wish that I could read more of these here instead of the "hang him high" guys. Thank you.
Yeah.......whatever.
The fact these dealers ruin other peoples lives doesn't even come into it right?
Some merit? Possibly, for many of us, with choices and opportunities and a good upbringing, I would agree... And yet, most of the potential of the less fortunate is left to just such sentiment and light-hearted posturing and we see which way the weak and inopportune choose, still - enough to keep us all socially stigmatized in one way or another. Unfortunately, because of the centuries of just such programming, and the pathetic reliance on politics and a police state and a legal system, the vat of good and bad just keeps churning with coincidence and consequence and perpetuation. If you can keep "turning the other cheek," good on you - too many of us see where that got "him," and us.
Yes we have choices, and one of those choices could be to do more to DETER the likely missteps of other such folk, and the opportunism and parasitic nature that such types have helped breed, and perpetuate and foster.
And while I agree that the death penalty may be entirely too strict and possibly a bit overboard - from an objective point of view, this is not my country, and for him to come here, and do this - so be it.

Who cares!? Guilty is guilty is guilty.
Reading his obit... I mean article, he sounds like so many criminals that like so many religious folk, hide behind words and interpretations and excuses that have for centuries and millennia been the downfall of decency.

I have always wondered why only a Russian charter plane was allowed to land at U-Tapao Airport (Pattaya) and no other commercial airline, except for a domestic Bangkok Airways flight. I think a lot more than "passengers" are coming in on that flight.
I have a feeling Viktor, and his friends, know this flight very well, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, TIT (This Is Thailand). Just enjoy and try not to make sense out of it. After all, Thailand is in the top 10 of corrupt nations on the planet.

Time for Americans to realize that the time of being "world police" is over. Guess it's time to wake up.

It especially pains us to say that the lack of coordination surrounding Viktor Bout's legal case is unfitting of a 'major non-NATO ally,' a designation granted Thailand in 2003," the US lawmakers said.
Nicely put.
