http://www.bangkokpost.com/opinion/opin ... ins-groundMany who earlier encouraged a military intervention to restore law and order, and others under the impression that the military's safeguarding role during the royal transition was essential, are having second thoughts. For the foreseeable future, Thailand's ruling generals appear to be hunkering down for long-term rule and brooking no dissent in the process. Thus the road ahead for Thailand will mostly likely be marked by more turmoil.
What Thailand needs is the kind of compromise and accommodation seen in Myanmar. To get there, Thailand's political crisis and polarisation has to bottom out to a point where all sides exhaustively come to the realisation that none could win it all and therefore bargaining and negotiation cannot be avoided. It took Myanmar's military regime almost five decades to come to terms with this reality. Many Thailand watchers at home and abroad hope it will not take Myanmar's neighbour as long.
I do disagree a bit, seems most Thai's ( except those up in NE) are more than happy to allow the military to say in power as they all know what an election means. Thaksins return an more and more turmoil.
