» Protest maybe people power but could this people power really change anything for the better..! Today we see people around the world stand up to government. Some have success some still on-going most importantly civil disobedience is raising. Thailand itself has hold its own record of civil upraises...

• Brassman commented : , accused of authorizing live fire against protestors in 2010. These protests he ramped up when the indictment charge was brought against him. [b:33jo9fam]So I think he'd stop his rampage if he was simply offered immunity[/b:33jo9fam]. I know its not popular to think this: but maybe the best thing for Thailand is to offer him an amnesty in exchange for permitting elections to go ahead. Democracy is surely worth a tradeoff? Otherwise we risk him taking power, and I think even the Bangkok elite would fear that. He already asked for an 'off the press' meeting between Abhisit and Yingluk early on in these protests. So maybe he was hinting at a deal along those lines?

Really it's more access to the press. You never hear from them in the Bangkok press, there seems to be a bias there.
