If this article below is true and seconded by any other reliable agency,
that is great and very welcome.
This the very right thing with perfect timing that U.S could ever have done
as far as movements for democracy is concern.
Trifecta !
Dress up the chickens,beat the bullies down from next door and march to the
democracy in making in East Timor for Thailand's long-while- sitting- duck-
army, with good armours.
Suggest,the Royal Thai Army should complimentarily accept GS Kofi Anan's
offer to lead East Timor peace keeping forces once Australia stand aside in
favour for Asean businesses within.But this time,under the very watchful
eyes.
No muck about and there is no such thing as Asian Values rather a Global
Values.
Cheers
