The US got what it wanted at the time

Re: "Abhisit, Suthep: death before amnesty bill", December 10.
Perhaps this would be the time to remind those who like waving the US flag about the events that occurred at the time in question.
There was a deluge of letters from expats writing to The Nation demanding the complete annihilation of the red shirts at any cost.
The United States Congress passed a resolution putting its stamp of approval on the actions of the Abhisit Vejjajiva-led government in exchange for a promise to deliver a political pawn named Viktor Bout.
The “brave Americans” were absent without leave, hiding like little mice behind a false human-rights facade, quivering in anticipation of their Russian pawn.
No matter how the case against Abhisit and others involved comes out, we will all continue to know who the true enemies of the red shirts were and are: the little, quivering mice.
