...Thais can only hope that Abhisit's own vow to promote national unity will hold.

That was during the wake of the 1997 Asian financial crisis when the party's inability to discipline unwieldy coalition members led to political paralysis and financial mayhem. Instead of taking decisive action to gird the economy, politicians seemed to spend more of their time squabbling with each other and cooking up corrupt deals that alienated the public. Now that...

Martial law was a "dramatically difficult decision," but it "saved Poland from a looming catastrophe," he told the court...
...major parties ought to come together and negotiate their differences. The AU has specifically stated that force should not be used in ousting Mugabe. While we admire this aspiration toward diplomacy, we believe that in this case the sentiment is ill-advised. Thousands of Zimbabweans continue to suffer and die at the hands of Mugabe’s terrible regime, in part because of the AU’s refusal to step in. The AU as a whole would do well to reconsider. Additionally, those pushing for regime change in Zimbabwe ought to look to South Africa for help...
