OK, as I understand it, this military coup while not exactly politically correct, is considered preferable to the spector of increased hostilities by the Muslim minority in Thailand. The deposed Prime Minister was considered to be too harsh on our Muslim brethern over there. However, the new military dictator, Sondhi, is himself Muslim. He will take a softer, gentler approach and, thus, win the day. If democracy is a casuality, too bad.
So, Condoleeza should convert; organize the military to kick mean old Jr. out of office, and then go to bed with Bin Laden and seduce him away from terrorism with her femine charms. Mission accomplished, the US can then have an election with Diebold voting machines and democracy will be vindicated.
Wait a moment. Let me go back and re-read that article again.
