@ Micheal- I think that is exactly the point.

Excellent report once again. Thank you, Nick. It’s amazing that the MSM ignore events like these. Without your reports there would be huge gaps in the historical record of this era.

Another ‘Taa Sawaang’ show? The events are moving forward here nicely. My compliments to the chef of that delicious cupcake for the poodle.

“her views about doomsday.”
Sounds a bit “fin de siecle”…. can anyone expand on it?

Ken. You are fibbing. You didn’t read the thread at all. If you had, you would know that the question you raise was dealt with above in discussions of acts and academic papers.

Yes, this morning (April 8, 2011) NBT-TV Morning Focus reported that Defence Minister General Prayuth was quoted as saying Thailand “never used, never possessed” cluster bombs. This was followed by some double speak that the Thai Ambassador to the UN in Geneva was misquoted by the Cluster Munitions Coalition, and that the 155mm Dual Purpose Improved Conventional Munitions used were not cluster munitions.

Apparently saying it ain’t so makes everything all right, despite all the evidence to the contrary lying on the ground in Preah Vihar province, Cambodia.

They did admit in the same broadcast that Thailand was a signatory to the 1997 Land Mine Treaty. Presumably this means that Thailand had some obligation not to have deployed anti-personnel, unexploded ordnance (UXO) known to maim and kill civilians in their retaliatory attacks on Cambodia.

“The monarch’s advice would be considered in any future plans.” That sounds like the next best thing to insubordination. Or is it a healthy sign that Thailand is a mature democracy? In the distant days when I was a bureaucrat we had a standard response to letters from the public: “Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts with us, and rest assured that we will waste no time studying your suggestions.”
