Bangkok Shut

The worrying thing with the Bangkok unrest is that there seems no way out of it.
As usual neither the Yellow nor Red shirts want anyone to be hurt, yet 7 have been shot even before the blockade began.
The Army has said that there may well be Civil War but they are not getting involved.
The purpose of the blockade is to remove the caretaker government and to stop democratic elections in February.
What the Yellow Shirts want is to remove the government and suspend democracy until they have changed the constitution...but only the government can change the constitution.
The Yellow Shirt folk and leaders seem to have come out of veritable nowhere in the last 2 months and now blockade the city leaving the only option the Army...
I am quite worried about a civil war and a very blood purge at the moment.

....here it comes

Ariel Sharon dies after 8 years in a coma. A magnificent contribution to world peace and nationhood.

Regarding the 8 year coma and subsequent death of Ariel Sharon....I don't know what else one can say except....Jesus, that was expensive...
Imagine the cost to the Israeli State of maintaining that body mass in a coma for eight years. I guess the good thing is that the expense of his maintenance meant, hopefully, 8 less Israeli houses on God-Given Palestinian Land, within the Nation of Palestine...and we should all be grateful for that small mercy.
Well done Ariel! Well done!

The best thing you ever did.
