PDA's actions what reprted recently in the media makes me wonder a so-called movement calling itself "Democratic" could resort to un-democratic means to topple a democratically elected government?. Resorting to blockades, strikes, taking-over government buildings and International Airports in violent ways does not truely reflect the banner it carry. Are the 61 million peace-loving Thai people are taken for granted that the few thousands of people carrying out these un-democratic acts will remain silent to the sufferings of the ordinary people are ignored for the benefit of the few who are power hungry and are not able to gain the status-quo through democratic political means. What is the international community and the diplomatic core are doing about the situation.

Thailand and it's democratic survival is important to the region given the threat of the new cold-war. Can the farang community living in Thailand contribute intellectually and effectively to combat the meance of PDA?
