Probably a bit hasty in your assessment of the contamination in Japan too......but that would be off topic.....and who's counting anyway

You refer to your own remarks which were both off topic and rather peculiar?

473neo: "Personally I think Thailand may well be able to assist in reducing potential Japanese radiation exposure problems by taking some people from the affected/danger areas until the radiation level is reduced."

me: "I think Japan has enough space to assist in reducing potential radiation level exposure problems by moving some of it's own people to areas not effected, keeping them on Japanese territory where they will feel more at home than in some strange country."

And you ignore the contamination threat to the Japanese land based and sea based food chain............

Keep looking across the top of the pond rubl and keep believing what you see is all there is to see....why not if it suits you

I just wish they would vindicate Thaksin and get him back here. Maybe the whingers and worriers would find something else to do.

Highly unlikely. Thaksin is the biggest threat to the peace and security of the nation that exists today. I am often amazed that some people still don't understand what all this is about at the higher levels of Thai society. Thaksin is trying to control Thailand as Hun Sen does in Cambodia. Clearly you've never tried to do business in Cambodia if you think that is a good thing. Thailand is a dream compared to Cambodia. It is impossible to do anything over there without assigning 30% of your company to Hun Sen personally. And you are forever at his whim if he decides he doesn't like you.

And Thaksin as a person is a much more cruel, more sociopathic personality than Hun Sen. Between the two of them I'd rather have Hun Sen as my partner than Thaksin.

No, bringing Thaksin back will mean civil war. And rightly so. I can only hope Thaksin is defeated when this finally happens. Don't make the mistake of believing anything else. Thaksin can not be allowed to return. Ever. If you think that his return would be a good thing, you clearly have no idea what you are saying.

I just wish they would vindicate Thaksin and get him back here.

Vindicating Thaksin is a task akin to polishing a turd. Best of luck with that.
