drogon Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Just found this incredible edito from ht BKK post. This journalist is a great one. http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opinion/7945/thaksin-the-man-who-ought-to-be-a-starnot-a-starving-writer Great article pointing Thailand's flaw...

WorldFun Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 nice one - a real star however on one of the comments he received on the blog 'what's the alternative to the drug problem?' well definitely as mentioned in other related threads many thais seem to side with 'anything goes' against drug dealers while I on the other hand tend to side with e.g. Swiss who as the first country in the world is trying out heroin as 'prescription' based handouts & surely that would be the more human rights related way to go - however in the LOS context it may not quite fit the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faustian Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 A great article indeed, I hope it's available in Thai....and that Thai's read it....but then again, it isn't a comic book... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangkoktraveler Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 Thaksin doesn't have a clue what human right are but then, neither does GWB. Both promoted democracy at the sake of human rights as the author says, is the foundation of democracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rchapstick Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 If it's not on GWB's teleprompter, then he doesn't have a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
