Bangkok Post - Post Bag
I figure that the recent re-igniting of the man-love flame between Thaksin and Hun Sen must have some ulterior motive. Here's my theory, and it shouldn't sound so far-fetched in light of events in Central America. Manuel Zelaya stoked the fiery passions of his supporters by momentarily crossing the border into his native Honduras from neighbouring Nicaragua, and then by taking refuge in the Brazilian embassy within the borders of his own country.
Now let's draw some parallels and you can join the dots. Cambodia shares a border with Thailand, and also has an embassy in the simmering cauldron that is Bangkok. The red shirts seem to be itching for a spark of inspiration. If Thaksin were to pull a Zelaya, the political situation in Thailand might just reach boiling point. My only advice to Thaksin: please wear a silly looking hat so we have something to laugh at amidst this political inferno.
