It is now past the point where this government can opt to go for an election and stand a good chance of being returned to power. They should have made that move when they were the good boy’s week’s back.

Now that there has been blood spilt and lives lost it will need a good deal of work to put Thailand back on the road to recovery and democracy.

The tourist industry which many rely on for there existence is finished and will need time and a large investment to recover if and when the problems are ever solved.

Surly the Government must see that they have little choice but to go to the people or have this problem drag on and on. Thailand could end up like Northern Ireland and have the troubles drag on for years.

I pray for peace and live in hope that this will be the end of troubles in Thailand.

Please keep political discusssions confined to the news subforum, thanks.
