I wonder how many of these smart assed idiots who post anti Thaksin vomit in here were actually around when Thaksin was in power before the corrupt military had their coup with their first task to bring many false and pathetic charges against Thaksin. You see, he was very popular with the majority of the Thai poorer population. Back in those days Thailand was a "go ahead" country with a bright future unlike today's dictatorship. Even if was corrupt, a very few Thai politicians are not, he looked after his people and they knew it. Today to have any hope of a good life, one has to be rich and a member of the ruling classes. Yes i remember Thailand back in the days of Thaksin when there was hope for poorer population.
