"Thailand is calmed, but issues remain
BANGKOK - Flights in and out of Bangkok resumed yesterday after protests that paralyzed the capital's international airport for more than a week ended with the peaceful ouster of the prime minister.
But most of the explosive issues that have divided the country for more than two years remained unresolved "It is nothing more than an intermission. It is not over until the two sides of the political spectrum can reconcile and the prospect of that happening is very bleak," said Charnvit Kasetsiri, a historian.
I'm so sick of the MSM lies, readers.
The People's Alliance for Democracy, which has led six months of street demonstrations and the airport protests, warned that it would be back on the streets if a new government maintained links to the man who has torn apart the Thai political fabric since being ousted in a military coup in September 2006 - Thaksin Shinawatra.

More MSM distortions and lies!
"Too polite to Thailand
THAILAND is an ally of the United States, and diplomatic decorum forbids US officials to deplore the course of domestic affairs in an allied country. But after mobs shut down Bangkok's international airport last week, stranding 300,000 travelers, and a politicized Constitutional Court banned Thailand's governing People Power Party, it is obvious that ally Thailand has become an embarrassment to the democratic club.
That explains the shoddy and biased news coverage (as well as the outright lies) they have given to the situation.
Not that the government of Prime Minister Somchai Wongsawat is beyond reproach. Far from it. The court's finding of vote-buying by the PPP and its two coalition partners is entirely plausible. Somchai, a son-in-law of disgraced prime minister-in-exile Thaksin Shinawatra, is perpetuating a pattern in which the wealthiest man corners the market on political power.
Still, the answer to Thaksin-style politics must not be mob rule. Thaksin's method of spending government funds to create a loyal constituency among the rural poor may offend Bangkok's intelligentsia and business elites, but toppling an elected government by street action makes a mockery of their democratic pretensions....
WHAT ELSE could be MORE DEMOCRATIC than DUMPING a TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT? Of course, the Globe wouldn't want anyone here to get any ideas from the Thais, would they?
As for the MOCKERY of democratic pretensions, how about looking into the RIGGED ELECTIONS of George W. Bush for starters, garbage Globe?
Yeah, that's what I thought; typical RACIST, ZIONIST HYPOCRISY from the crap Jew War Daily!
