Re: Fake?

Thaksin actually achieved results, whereas Bush blundered the country.

Under Thaksin, we see the rampant privatization of electricity, oil and gas industries, and health care. Existing state hospitals received deep budgetary cuts and are being bombarded with high cost drugs – a result of policies that favored big multi-national pharmaceutical companies.

Thaksin couldn’t have been more closely related to the Bush family. He sends troops to aid George W. bush in his war in Iraq and has allowed the CIA to use Thailand as an “anti-terrorist” base in Asia. (http://www.csis.org/media/csis/pubs/ttu_0310.pdf).

Trained as a Bangkok police with a criminology degree from Texas, Thaksin was responsible for the killing of at least 2500 innocent men and women during his “War on Drugs” (Regan style) in 2003. He’d also repeatedly portrayed Muslim youths as “thieves and bandits” because they protested against his involvement in Bush’s “War on Terror”. After ordering the killing of the 78 Muslim youths at Takbai in 2004, he blamed the death of those Muslim youths on “fasting too much during Ramadan.”

I’d like to see how Thaksin would advise Morales! (If this piece of news in indeed true)

Thaksin Shinawatra is the best primisnister for Thailand. His policy has brought the poor Thais to very much better living. The free medication, scholarship to study oversea awarded to poor villgage students (policy: one village, one students) and many more.

I don’t think Morales is THAT stupid. If it’s true, his people in Bangkok need more homework.

I’d say he’s a hell of a liar instead. I bet he’ll never receive such an award. It’s just propoganda to feed to his supporters in Thailand.

This guy is pretty amazing if you think about all the influence he has over people in Thailand and all over the world. I am not saying he is right or wrong only that he is a hell of a charmer.
