Political attacks define the true limits of Thaksin's revolution
- Taipei Times
This is a very interesting
editorial on how Thaksin came
to power and what it all means:
...The Democrat Party, which headed
the previous government, claimed
that it offered similar reforms
and cannot understand why the

Demands and protests--the Democrats
huffed--will get you nowhere.
That old bureaucratic paternalism,
Thaksin knew, was ripe for overthrow...
