Agreed, but I was responding to Steves post about the Soldiers currently in Bangkok wearing Yellow ribbons indicating (Possibly but likely) thier loyalty to the King.

It is my humble opinion that General Sondi was tipped the nod by his Commander in Chief (The King) to do what is necessary (While Thaksin was in NY)

It's the loyalty by certain members in the Military and Police for Thaksin I was trying to express my opinion about and thier possible influence in trying to stop the coup. I am aware of Thais undying loyalty to the King but he isn't the one trying to be ousted and his Government removed.

I just hope Thaksin retires to his luxury apartment in NY with his cronies after his soon to be given speech. That he mulls over what has happened at home, realises he is 'persona non grata' in his own country and realises that "Hey! I am a very wealthy man" and retires gracefully and invests his money in Thailand. That there are new elections for the people and that whoever wins the popular vote does what is good and beneficial for the country as a whole. Not raping it for the good and benefit of themselves and thier hangers on.
