I hope nobody in Cambodia is watching the News

Seems like the Government approach is to say "no, you cannot do that", and the Military response is "well they wanted to do it, so we let them come in and take the TV Station and trucks with weapons". The Red Shirts of course have seen no real backbone from the Government, so they just do whatever they want, and the "protectors" simply step aside.

It would take an invading army less than 2 days to conquer Thailand. The people in power are only impressed with the perks and titles they get. They have no concept of the real responsibility of being the Government.

There is a saying, and I really hate to say it, BUT "Either lead or get out of the way"
