LakeGeneve Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Yet another sad day for Thailand. This is why I have been arguing against using force against the red shirts. It just plays into their hands and gives them a sense of injustice and a moral victory. Now we have 5 dead and an even more polarised political setting. Even more silly to use soldiers discharging their weapons against civilians, blanks or rubber bullets aside. Why send in troops to take Phan Fa, have the momentum against a small number of red shirts, then retreat, then have more intense clashes hours later when the red shirts are numbering in their thousands? Such clashes have been exactly what the UDD/DAAD and PT have been seeking and only serve to embolden the red shirts drawing greater numbers out to join the protests. The fact that this has occured adjacent to Democracy Monument given the history of military killings in past protests there makes it even more sad!

Guest Yim Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Well, Thaksin has got the results he wanted. He was willing to sacrifice lives for his own ego. I am sure many of the Red Shirts did not want this. But the hard core ones surely wanted this. If Red Shirts have died, they brought it on themselves. It is time for the Red Shirt leaders to disappear, And it is time to put the Thai Red Berets into action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cambodia anyone??? In asia, I have lived in Hong Kong (1 yr), East Timor (3 yrs), Indonesia (1 yr), Philippines (6 months) and Afghanistan (1.5 yrs). Two of those places were conflict zones when I lived there. As an outsider, I have always felt the most safe and yet also the most at risk in Thailand. The propensity for extreme acts of intense violence has always felt greatest here. It probably does not make sense but I always have an underlying weariness here, which I don't feel elsewhere, that things can go south very quickly.
