Hej
Thaksin har blivit inbjuden till USA för att ge sina synpunkter på den nuvarande situationen för mänskliga rättigheter, pressfrihet, yttrandefrihet och oron i södra delarna av landet, och även att komma med förslag på hur USA och det internationella samfundet kan hjälpa till att förbättra dom mänskliga rättigheterna i landet, och säkra ett fritt och rättvist kommande val i landet.
Detta låter väldigt bra, för hitills har militärernas version av vad som har skett och varför i landet fått stå mer eller mindre oemotsagda, hoppas detta möte kan ge stöd och hopp för demokratirörelsen i landet.
