thai gov gives the order

[billy]

I don't know if it's just me but maybe the government should listen to the people and have elections. That might be a bit more democratic. And humanitarian.

they did offer to listen (negotiate) and were turned down by the red shirts.
when it looked like the military were going in the red shirts all of a sudden decided they wanted to negotiate. all too late because whatever was put on the table by the gov was taken off.

as i see it the people have Thailand have two choices. a revolution, or work towards changing hearts and minds with peaceful demonstrations and marches that are within the law.

i saw them o the news firing home made rockets and shit. not that effective really but at the end of the day that isn't the way to do it. it also looked like many of them were there just for the fun of the confrontation. they seemed so proud to be firing at the military.
