No end to US double standards
For a newspaper reader like me, it looks like the US in recent years has done nothing else but hunt "terrorists" and forced other countries to follow their perverted form of corporate democracy.
The near future will show how sincere they are about their ultimate objective, hunting “terrorists”, when it comes to present-day Thailand.
Will they again speak with their double tongue and show their double standards and bias, as widely seen when it comes to their good undemocratic friend Saudi Arabia?
Now about Thailand: Will they extradite the [alleged] Thai financier of the latest grenade terror attack in Bangkok from his hiding place in the US?
If not, maybe Thailand should start policing on US soil, just as the Americans did on Thai soil during the Victor Bout case and as they’re doing in the Philippines in the murder case involving a US marine.
Or will it be the same as the “Foxy Knoxy” case, where the accused lady will probably never be sent from the US to face the music in Italy?
Or will it be like with the Israelis, who also seem to solve problems without respecting other countries’ sovereignty and jurisdiction, like abducting political enemies in other countries and flying them home to secret prisons.
Sorry, but I do think Thailand is more democratic than that at the moment – no secret planes will fly to the US, Europe, Australia, or Dubai.
