Western governments don't give a damn about Thai democracy -- it's not ugly enough, Thailand does far too many favors to be slapped down, and everyone knows Thai coups aren't really real coups, more just a seasonal pruning back of the nation's democratic growth... Someone hosts your black site, you don't go stabbing them in the back over a little coup action...

 

Here's the US military aid response (and yes, that $85,000 dollars... ouch that must really hit Thai military in the pocket book!):

 

 

Maybe the Thai military dictatorship doesn't give a damn about the chickenfeed US aid.

 

I admire your optimism. Perhaps slowing GDP figures will impress you more.

 

Let's just say the sooner they return the country to a fully functioning democracy the better for the Thai economy.

Thailand’s dwindle flies proudly above one a many famous traveller attractions. But today, fewer tourists are walking by a doors of a Grand Palace.
