This article shows a woeful lack of understanding. It has an agenda. To bring the red shirts - movement for Democracy in Thailand, down to the level of the PAD. To suggest these protest movements are really two sides of the same coin. Knowledgeable people know that is not true. This political strife is a battle between those who benefit from Democracy, and those who don't. Anyone with some insight would know who they are. This article is an agenda driven piece of misinformation.

Thai politics are complex and beyond the grasp of most westerners. Still, the struggle to impose the will of one group over another is a common enough theme that everyone can relate. I would be interested in hearing from people who know first hand what the issues are about, and not just the explinations on the surface. Who are the players, where do they come from, and what motivates them? What is the history of the conflict, and where does each party want to lead the country? Any ideas? I've known many Thais and my impression is that confrontation does not come easily to them. I'm confused.
