Quote:Yeah, I agree with you. Thailands corrupt PM had to go. It was still too bad it was as a coup de etat, though. It just sets a pattern (ala Haiti) for what the powerful (military or just a junta) will do in the future if they are displeased with the people in civilian power. I am reminded that Pakistan's emergency coup from 1999 has still not resulted in an election.
It follows a pattern. Coups in Thailand seem a popular method for changing governments since WW II. I count 4 since 1947.
