Thank you, Khun Songdej for taking time to explain why we need coups. You said, “Many times coups were welcomed….”, but didn’t say by whom. To me, those who welcomed the last coup were the Democrats and their supporters, the yellow shirts, drug traffickers, illegal numbers operators, loan sharks, racketeers and those who were jealous of Thaksin’s success. I and 16 million others who voted Thai Rak Thai opposed the coup, but you overlooked us because we didn’t douse ourselves with gasoline and commit self-immolation en masse to protest.
Now I accept the reality that Thailand is like a defective computer that keeps hanging, so we always need the armed forces to press Ctrl+Alt+Del.
