Torneyboy Posted December 10, 2008 Report Share Posted December 10, 2008 Kingdom claims new milestone as historians declare Thailandâ??s democratic growth has been retarded for a longer period than any other country in world history........ What a surprise! 76-year-old Sombat Boonyarat, who was born in 1932, said he had waited a lifetime for this day. â??It has been difficult. But now I know the 17 coups, 17 constitution drafts, 37 states of emergencies, 53 house dissolutions, 29 years of martial law and 163 cabinet reshuffles have not been in vain.â? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
