Are you really concerned that the medical program will be cancelled? I sure don't get that impression from anyone.

Hmmmmmm..... perhaps you and I live in different countries.

I definitely intend to imply that many, if not many millions of Thai people were the instigators to this current situation. In my observation, it has nothing to do with the idiots on the podium. This was a grassroots revolt over one main issue, the amnesty bill. No dictatorship. No struggle for the crown's power.

In fact it's my opinion that once they re-open the constitution and do whatever work they need to do, they will have elections and the "reds" will (or perhaps may) win again... if you don't see this is about cleaning house, then we really do have opposite views. And, there's nothing wrong with that.
