political : BUSH STILL SILENT ON THAI COUP. SHOULD HE AND BLAIR ISSUE ULTIMATUM? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Thu Sep 21, 06 - Tue Jun 16, 09 "Where is the ultimatum to the Thai junta? HOW bizarre! A supposed democratic government in a supposedly civilised country - Thailand - is overthrown by the military, and the self-styled "Axis of Enduring Freedom" - the US and UK - are remarkably silent on the matter, even though the Thai Prime Minister was in New York at the time he discovered his employment had been arbitrarily terminated. Just to add sauce to this pudding of irony, it was while on a trip to that mighty citadel of a free world of free nations known as the UN. So where's the ultimatum from Bush and Blair to the Thai junta to get out of town?" UK Herald The most that the Bush Administration could be bothered to do was trot out head PR flak Tony "You Got a Purty Mouth" Snow to say that the administration was "disappointed" that one of the most important democracies in Southeast Asia had suddenly been replaced by a military dictatorship. Bush, himself, remains absolutely silent on the issue, even though the coup happened as he was making a speech at the U.N. pompously demanding that the Muslim world obey his commands to install democracy. Since he is so bombastic about democracy elsewhere in the world, should Bush, and his pal Blair, do what they seem to do compulsively wherever Muslims and oil are, and give Thailand an ultimatum to restore democracy, or else? Yes, democracy is worth fighting for No, they aren't Muslims, and they don't have oil. Who cares? President Bush (and the USA) is waiting to see the reprocussions. Democracy comes better from the bottom up, not from the top down Ballot #102304 : SEE RESULTS Comment: show your vote with comment?
