I would like to see peace in Thailand. I implore Mr. Thaksin and his allies to stop. If all of you love Thailand, please go through reform peacefully. Let us go through the parliamentary process for political reform. We, as Thai people, have been waiting for the right kind of democracry for almost 80 years. Can't we all wait for another 6-12 months in order to get it right? Let's not rush into any kind of superficial or transient reform. Let's do it right so that we do not have to go through this mess again.

I'm citizen of Thailand and watching Taksin interview on CNN and definitely against his speech that there's no casualties from government act as he said. He just wanted to destroy his own motherland. He just do it for his own sake not for country sake as he say. Now all Thais citizen are standing up against the protester because everything he done is all wrong. So we want all the world understand the truth that happening here and not listening to the guy who betray his own country.

The current government comes from a fully democratic and lawful process. The prime minister's top priority is to control the situation with NO casualties. I believe in him.

I would like to voice my support to the government for their decision to uphold the law of Thailand. The protestors can no longer claim that their action are a peaceful demonstation of their political view and have shown their true color by killing two civilians who try to defend their belonging when the red-shirt try to burn it.

Mr. Shinawatra must stop his blatent lie and stop his attempt to further escalated the event. I urged the government of UAE to arrest him and extredite him to Thailand where he should recieve his sentence as decided by the Court of Thailand.

Lastly, I hope that everyone, whether he or she is a reporters, protestors, civilian, policeman, soldier will be safe and unharmed. Because in the end, we're all Thai peoples.

I think Thailand will have peaceful if Thaksin stop his reaction and stop to back up and command red army to destroy country. He's criminal who don't accept his status.

As the day end, the government and the media report the same thing, zero death from the operation.

There's 2 death from quarrel between local resident affect by the protest and the protestor.

These red shirt radicals will not compromise with anything. They have shown no mercy harming innocent people.
The army and the police should act more to protect the locals from the red shirt radicals, or else the situation will even worsen.

The dead isn't one of red shirts but a resident

I just saw news from CNN which is not shown in any of Thai TV channels... All news broadcast in Thailand has been distorted...
The soldiers with full steam weapons killed people with no weapon; this is not fair
CNN please help us!!! Let us know the truth!

Apisit is a good guy. He replaces the COMMERCIAL Politics with the HONORABLE Politics. People in Thailand have enough food to eat. I think we don't need the capitalism. We want a good PM not Taksin. Nothing can fulfill his desire.

Thaksin is a fugitive and we all know that he is the mob leader. Thaksin wishes to create the worst riots and weakens the government further. Too bad more Thai people now realize all about his vicious plan to return without serving his time in jail. If he succeeds then Thailand will end up with being the worst place to live. Anyway, that is not going to happen here, we have Mr. Abhisit now who has shown his determination to lead this country out of chaos which Thaksin paid for. We all pray and stand by Mr. Abhisit's decision and action taken to bring peace back to our country soon.

The situation right now in Bangkok is not avoidable using military force since the crisis was ignored by Police force, the high ranking policemen secretly deny to serve country with their duty. Most of people in Bangkok agreed with the government's measure to use militant force. Taksin want to see turmoil and bloodshed for him to claim his legal political fugitive.

"Thaksin says the soldiers have used excessive force and have been shooting live rounds directly at the crowds."

That was how Thaksin lied to the World... Mr. Thaksin has no qualification to be PM or even Thai people. He is in the back of the red-shirt terrorists; hiring all red-shirt terrorists to destroy Bangkok, Thailand, and our best government.

i just want all of foreigners to know the truth (after i saw Taksin's interview) . . . . the person who got killed is caused by the red shirt not by the government officer. . just don't believe him !

Dan Rivers, you're the man!

Thank you for risking your life in order to tell the world about the truth.
However, you should also know that Thai soldiers have not killed any single rebellious (RED Shirt) protestors.

While the rebellious protestors have stolen 37 buses and burn them as well as attempting to lid up fire on the gas container's truck in the middle of Bangkok's street! if they succeed, hundreds of life would be in jeopardy and lost.

This evening, while trying to burn the buses in front of the fresh market, the protestors ran into the local residents (innocent Bangkokeans) who try to protect their home ground. The arguments turned into fights and 2 innocent people loose their life by the bullets from the rebellious protestors. Who's the real criminal now?

I feel sick with Taksin's interview on CNN twice today, no truth coming from his mouth, he is always forget to comments on his crimes and frauds. The biggest liar today with his statement on CNN, how he claimed to know of many deads in the riot in Bangkok while he is in Dubai. Certainly it was not on today papers !!!!! But the fact is Pro-Taksin people Red killed 2 local people who tried to defend their neighborhood from the red shirt rioter.

A Thai Patriot rightly says Thailand has been waiting for the right kind of democracy for nearly 80 years, but why will things be any different in 6-12 months time.. What will stop elitist groups from toppling governments of which they take a disliking?

Dan the man!!!

I'm appreciated that the riot in Bangkok is over. However the conflict still remain in Thailand. Tough jobs are in front of this government,waiting them to resolve.
