Go Thailand
Hi all, I'm back. Sorry for the absence.
As much as I make attempts to support our current political climate I have seen the path that was missed in Iraq. We simply should have waited until Saddam was out of town. Many of you know that I had the pleasure to be in Thailand for a week at the beginning of the year. The Thai people are more pleasant than and employee at Disneyland. There is a constant air of wonder and tranquility there.
It therefore comes as a happy discovery that the recent coup was bloodless. What else would you expect from a country that is something like 95% Buddhist. Aside from the political aspect, it was probably the larges military event in years. They were more showing off their Vietnam era weapons harking back to when the U.S. still made good vehicles.
What I love is that the Prime Minister was in the nearly defunct U.N. when it all happened. The military surrounded the government house and threw everyone out. The General then went to the King and pledged allegience to him. Later the king agreed that the General was right and accepted his new rule.
The moral of this story is; if you want someone out of power, wait for him to go away, then move in.
GO THAILAND
