I have never condoned any military interventions in politics, and I do not think I ever will alter my stance.
However, I would like to propose you with two scenarios and ask how are you going to address the issue
A: In the name of democracy,
1) Everybody is allowed to express their democratic beliefs at the fullest possible demonstrations, regardless of years or even decades this process may consume, often at the expense of economic progression. Never mind the economic stagnation, the country is still holding onto the democratic system and presumed to function in the said framework.
2) It is justify, and understandable, that millions of lives will perish as a result of episodes after episodes of protests, counter protests, sabotages, revenges, massively grotesque manipulation of the people's trusts. It is acceptable for those who call themselves democratic countries,to see yet another country caught in a quagmire of unrest, and ravaged by financial plight. After all, it is executed by the democratic prowess, thus, it is fully acceptable.
3) A country is allowed to plunge into civil unrest, warfare among fractions, partition of lands and secession of regions as long as the democratically elected government is still adorned the country's parliament but practically yield no action in any administrative spheres.
4) As long as politicians are elected, by whatever mean employed, they are allowed to cling onto their righteous posts, regardless of how corrupted they have become.
5) The international community is at their utmost liberty to condemn any military interventions, even though none of those understand the context of Thai politics in its entirety. As long as the actions performed fail to conform with the democratic frame, condemnation is a de facto acceptance.
B : In the name of survival;
1 ) A slap in the face of those people who held the country hostage, who thought only of themselves, who wield all their might in nearly a decade long political bout, with a complete disregard to other people's opinion or thoughts. These people are no longer in the position to further jeopardise the already volatile political situations in the country.
2) The decimation of a country is alleviated, even if it lasts only momentarily. At least, all parties involved have been given sometime to retrospectively reflect upon themselves the self-inflicted damages caused by this excessive demonstration of their political beliefs.
3) Arms in the hands of those who know how to use them is rather more assuring than with those who posses virtually no knowledge to maneuver them. Walking on streets of Bangkok has become less alarming as launching of illegally acquired firearms by "unknown party" against their opponents is no longer permissible by the soldier's presence.
4) Manipulation of people's trust and mind by politicians who capitalised disparity in the society for their personal gain has now been halted. No more politicians who would shrouded the populace with false hope and promises that never been materialised. It is the time that those who have been waging the political rages can return home and rethink for themselves if the battle that no one could ever win was really for the betterment of our country or for the benefits of those privilege fews.
5) The impasse is now the past and the hope of returning to normalcy is perceivable. For months, or even years, Thais have been walking a thin line of fear and instability, as a result of political upheaval. At the very least, we now are able to think of a day that we would be able to live our lives normally, in the absence of the never ending protests.
My choice of how to fix the issue has been made.
If you were a Thai, which would you have chosen???
