This has resulted in the worst violence in nearly two decades, which has left at least one person dead and hundreds injured. It appears as if the opposition has set out to destabilize the country and force yet another coup. It is a sad commentary on Thailand's opposition, which calls itself the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD), but appears to have no respect for democracy or the...
