Thaksin had a focus on the North, thus drawing resources away from Bangkok, and the PAD got fed-up and claimed to represent the people, when they merely represented Bangkok.

Also, during Thaksin, there was much improvement in Thailand as a whole, so I think the PAD is just an empty vessel that is characteristically noisy.
i think when Thaskin's party win next time around. They should just go ahead and move the capital to another city, built another airport there and let bangkok rot.

Ya know.. it may only be rogue elements within the Pakistan government that supported the attack. The government is not monolithic.

(says the American who knows quite well that his own government has its own share of rogue elements that ignore public policy)
but if India can prove who was behind it and the people behind it are living in Pakistan then Pakistan need to hand those people over. India shouldn't push things with pakistan uncessarily but they can't appear soft either or there will be more attacks.
