Suthep rushes to appease Luang Pu after rally stage 'snub' | Bangkok Post: news
Suthep rushes to appease Luang Pu after rally stage 'snub' | Bangkok Post: news
This is one of the odd things about the Suthep coalition...it is made up of many disparate units...businessmen, uni students, trade unions, monks etc who don't particularly even like each otehr...but are united on the basis of throwing out the government yet not having a plan for the future...so the present shutdown of the city may well fizzle out, and I hope so because the only other option is a violent uprising/revolution which would not be in the interests of the country at all. It is a dangerous situation indeed. Just because one can 'shut down' a city, it doesn't mean it is a good idea at all and it would be very easy to lose control of such a mis-adventure to the detriment of everyone.
