    Nice uniform. And no it's not a joke, why would it be a joke for a high profile person to highlight traffic safety. It's a worthwhile cause, not 'best hairstyle' or 'best nose hair' award.

    This really breaks my heart. If there were valuable oil reserves there or in the area close to what is around the middle east area, we would have been there in a heartbeat. You want to talk about oppression and suffering? It makes me sick to see all these people suffering and the U.S. thumbing their nose at them.

    Wow this is an awesome article, more like these please JT. It's always fascinating to read about other careers instead of the usual english teacher or other salaryman. Love that entrepreneural spirit.

    Because she was angry she set fire to her house and almost killed her dad? Wow, usually if a kid is severely abused maybe, then maybe, I can see something like this, but nowadays kids do anything when they don't get their spoiled ways, japanese kids included. Truly something wrong with world youth today we are reaping what we sowed.

    Oh well, so much for people cutting down during the holidays, layoffs and whatnot. At least they avoided the in shop madness and risk of limb and life for consumer greed.

    No one's saying violent crime or sickening consumerism is exclusive to America. But it is definitely worth highlighting in any nation when its people die due to nothing more than greed over goods. Even more so when someone dies from this greed, and people are so callous as to complain when told to leave the store due to the death of an employee.

    A few people got shot and killed in a store in Southern California. Not a very good image to project to the world.

    I'm surprised more people haven't died all these past decades. The holiday shopping season brings out the extreme nastiness in people. No one can forget, for example, the cabbage patch doll craze in the early 80's. It was literally a feeding frenzy, grown adults were ripping the dolls out of kid's hands at the stores. I just do all my shopping online.

    Another week, another round of bombings. But still it's safer than same point last year. And so it goes.

    No end in sight.

    “Today, we see blood with our eyes. We will fight,” said top protest leader Sondhi Limthongkul. “At this moment, there is no way we will negotiate.”

    Now, anyone out there still want to criticize what enlightened people such as myself see, that these are nothing but selfish thugs, who care little about the people of their own country who want nothing more than to earn a living?

    Interesting how some here are so conveniently ignoring the tactics of the PAD. “Peaceful” protests, lol. The fact is these demonstrators are but a small fraction of the total Thai population. Whatever sympathies they may have had in the beginning, whatever good will they previously merited from Thais and foreigners alike, have long gone in the wake of their hostility, threats, and acts of sabotaging airports and the like.

    Again, what country would allow its citizens to make threats and disrupt airports? Peaceful protests are the hallmark of what earns respect and admiration from people around the world. That is the democratic way. Doesn’t it tell you something when many foreigners are cancelling their vacation plans to Thailand and many are expressing their disgust at this whole situation (many of them former PAD sympathizers?). When is this insanity going to stop, what is to say the next PM won’t make the PAD happy as weren’t they supposed to be satisfied Samak was gone?

    It doesn’t take a phD or in depth analysis to see what a farce this whole thing is. The PAD views this government/PM as corrupt and what is their solution? To have certain social groups have the vote in choosing representatives, and taking that right away from the rural class? Yea, that sure sounds empowering and “democratic” to all Thais.

    But that is all irrelevant you see. Again if it were peaceful protests and demonstrations many would have no problems with this whole deal. There’s a fine line between peaceful demonstrations and making threats and disrupting lives. Again this is a small percentage of the total population involved in this mess. How do you think the people whose lives are disrupted by this nonsense feel? What about the Thai citizen who makes their earning from the tourist trade, or even those who make their earning from working in government who cannot even go to their offices? And so on and so forth.

    Well let's see soldave. What is a terrorist:

    http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=terrorist&r=66

    "1. a person, usually a member of a group, who uses or advocates terrorism. 2. a person who terrorizes or frightens others."

    Let's see, I think that going by the definition of terrorism and terrorist, clearly PAD members are terrorists. Threatening violence, taking over government buildings and shutting down airports, disrupting a major Thai economic source, gunfire and explosions, etc. etc. What else should we call these protestors, freedom fighters, lol. Let's see how far such antics would go outside of Thailand. That PAD thugs aren't "officially" sanctioned as terrorists means absolutely nothing.

    I (and many many others) see PAD for what they are, terrorists.

    While that is too bloody long for my tastes FINALLY some light at the end of this long tunnel.

    Though I doubt the pro war crowd will feel too chirpy over those concessions in the last part of this article, U.S. forces look a wee bit hand tied behind their backs dont it?
