The Truth is Not the Story We Want to Tell
September 2010 By Robert Shoup
May was an interesting month in Bangkok Thailand.
Thousands of protestors, “the red shirts” had been in
Bangkok for almost a month. Although they had caused
financial hardship for many businesses by effectively
shutting down a portion of the downtown, their protest
of the current government was pretty quiet. More like a
picnic than a protest. And for many of the protestors, poor
farmers from across Thailand, it was more of an outing
than a protest.
