Enough is enough : Thaksin

 

Ousted Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra has vowed not to re-enter politics, saying "enough is enough."

Speaking publicly for the first time since his ousting, Thaksin told CNN that he would like to return to Thailand as a private citizen.

 

"After six years in politics, it is time for me to be normal citizens, outside political arena. Enough is enough," Thaksin said during brief interview with CNN from Singapore.

 

He dismissed suggestion that he was behind the New Year's Eve bombings in Bangkok and surrounding areas that resulted in the death of three people.

 

Thaksin called on the authorities to bring the culprit to justice and expressed sympathy with those who suffered from the bombings.

 

"I came from election. I came from the people," said Thaksin, described the bombings as "stupid".

CNN.com has a 2:12 video clip of the interview (you have to click on the video clips link and may need to scroll through a couple of pages before you get to it).

 

Also, today's Wall Street Journal Asian edition has an interview with him.

 

What next... Oprah?
