Agreed; and I repeat my warning that, before long, those expats and tourists who think that their individual pleasures, concessions and interests will continue as before may be in for a shock. And that's not taking into account the possibility that the supporters of the government turfed out by the junta don't get their act together and use their vast numbers to restore democracy....by any means necessary.
