Thai PAD is a terror group

General NewsWhen will the Thai government see that it is impossible to talk with terrorists, all governments around the world know this. Is it the Thai people are less educated that they let a person as Sonthi rise to power, it happened once in Germany and that was the start of the Second World War. But then the whole Second World War is something of a blank page of Thai history as Thailand was at the Japanese side... And not much historians like to talk about this time in Thai history.

But in fact if we look at current events and look at events and negotiation techniques used by a terror group like Al-Qaeda you find very many similarities. Thy use the ignorance of people, and future more they tell the people that the government is in simple terms bad for the country, and all this while hiding behind a all-over-loved banner who nobody dares to question.

For the terror group Al-Qaeda this loved banner is the Muslim religion, and for the Thai terror group PAD they hide behind the Love of the King, as all Thai people love the Thai King as deep as much as love can go.
Not get me wrong the Thai group PAD, what they call themselves in Thailand are a terror group, with as it looks one goal to bring Thailand economical to its knees. In a time when the whole world is trying to survive a worldwide economic crisis, Thailand is creating its own economic crisis - and with not surprise - I not thing we as Thai people can expect the IMF to bail us out, basically the IMF has it hand full by saving the economics of the \"rich\" countries.

And please people of the world, not forget that we as Thai people voted for the current government on a legal and democratic way. As all eyes where on use, from European and VN observers we can tell it was far and square win for the current government.

Future more, the PAD call themselves democratic and loving the Thai King, but basically they want to change both the level of absolute democratic and want to change the way the Thai King wrote his wishes that all Thai people would have equal democratic voting right in a Thai democracy.

Comparing Sondhi with Hitler!!!! and the PAD with Al Qaeda!!! Who are you ? another one of Thaksin's cronies? What a stupid statement. Compare the PPP to the Nazi Party, yes(remember Samak?) and Thaksin to a megalomaniac who prefers to see his country end up in a civil war rather than just leave Thailand and the Thai people alone in peace, and disappear once for all. The mad man is a criminal and so are the PPP members... Wait and see, history will judge...

This is the most convuluted piece of tripe I have read over Thai politics. Thaksin is another Marcos & so are his family . Thais can go to hell while they line their own pockets, the only problem is that all those aligned with differing points of view are easily manipulated in Thailand because of the economic structure that has been in place since the end of the Vietnam era.

Special interests rule in the backrooms & their own political agendas. Pay someone a couple of hundred Baht a day in Thailand & in most cases you will win their demonstrated Loyalty. This culture permeates the total fibre of society from the local Police chief letting his men charging Farang 300 Bht for not wearing helmets to keep his pay expenses down ,to those in top positions receiving "success fees" for Multi Million Dollar Govt. Contracts.

Unfortunately Money starts losing its attraction when you have so much of it , so the next step is "POWER" & that is the most attractive!!! That then becomes the breeding ground amongst the masses to be manipulated by those in all areas of power cashing in on their suffering & anger........................Simple really............Hitler,Marcos,Mao, Thaksin etc , they all got it & check out the history of Rhodes Scholars & see how many came to Power.................didn't Rumsfeld & friends companies benefit from Iraq??? MONEY & POWER the 2 best aphrodesiacs for many leaders................Demonstrations affecting the innocent Traveller & Business man though will only give Thailand long term problems...Investors are already negotiating in Malaysia for Projects ..Pity LOS...I love Thailand & can live within the system as variations of it exist in ALL countries , but, in LOS things are more relaxed . I am not Thai just an admirer

This drivel from the mind of a dilettante doesn't deserve comment!!

To whomever wrote this drivel. You should really check your facts prior to spouting off. First and foremost with the definition of a terrorist (group). You may find out that they really don't announce "exactly" what they are going to do prior to doing it. Also, a little hand clapper is not, in any sense, a weapon. Then go back and find out that during WWII, Thailand played all sides; thus avoiding being occupied by any one side. After that, read up on what Thaksin really did to the Thai people and their country. Granted he did do some good things; but he did far many more bad things. You can sum it up like this. Thaksin gave you 100bht, then stole 20,000bht from your pocket when you were not looking.
As for the PAD and DAAD, both parties have the right to exist and have peaceful debates. With the groups slagging on each other and threatening violence, both parties are giving Thaksin exactly what he wants (Chaos). Then, when the beloved King passes, he can waltz right in and become the dictator that he aims to be.

I’m not agreeing with the original posting, but it is an interesting angle. For the people who turn this into a Thaksin discussion; the original article says nothing about Thaksin, and I belief he has little to do with arguments in the original article.

The facts are that PAD is holding the whole country hostage, with about 240,000 foreign tourists being forced against their will, to stay in Thailand can be seen as a act of terrorism. Terrorism doesn’t need to have to include deathly weapons; all I have seen PAD guards shooting unarmed civilians (was on TV).

For the record, the PAD “guards” do not have a permit to carry arms, and therefore are breaking the law.

My last, point is that the current action of the PAD is costing Thailand too much; taking over both airports is for me a step too far. I belief that everybody has the right to demonstrate, but there is a limit what you can do….

Well the PAD is violent group who did take over the government house and the two airports in Bangkok in 2008 in order to overthrow the democratically elected government. So there is a case to be made for the PAD to be called terrorists.

Aside from being violent, the PAD is also not very democratic (despite their name). They prefer their government to be appointed rather than elected. They are also highly nationalistic. One of their goals is for Thailand to take Preah Vihear from Cambodia by force if necessary. Some of the PADs rhetoric is a bit socialist in nature and they do dabble in the occult. All of this plus throw in the logo of the PAD's political party (New Politics Party) whose ideology mirrors that of the PAD then I would have to say that the PAD is very comparable to the Nazis.

A comparison could also be made be made between the PAD and Al Queda but that would just sound mean.
