BAD BUSINESS IN BANGKOK
NPR May 16, 2010 Thailand's government insisted Sunday that a crackdown on red shirt protesters will continue despite their plea for U.N-mediated talks to end four days of street clashes with troops that have killed 30 people. A pause by the Thai military was unnecessary since troops were "not using weapons to crack down on civilians," said government spokesman Panitan Wattanayagorn. The government maintains it is only targeting armed "terrorists" among the demonstrators. Panitan's comments dashed hopes of an end to Thailand's worst political violence in decades, which has spiraled out of control and raised concerns of sustained, widespread chaos in this nation of 65 million people. Thailand is a key U.S. ally and Southeast Asia's second-largest economy. According to government figures, 59 people have died and more than 1,600 have been wounded since the red shirts began their protests in March. The toll includes 30 civilians killed and 232 injured since Thursday in fighting that has turned parts of the city known for its nightlife into an urban war zone.
Yet another sad story of violence unfolds, this time in Bangkok. Have you noticed that all these unfortunate events have one thing in common: the lack of credible institutions to provide a peaceful voice to the uncontented. Unfortunately, all over the World special interests dominate the political and economic scene. This is but a collective manifestation of individual self-centeredness. The one approach that solves violence, prevents oppression and provides peace, is the approach of Selfless dedication to everyone's rights and prosperity. Where can you learn this approach? Start right at home, with yourself, and one day the street clashes will never happen.
