Coup d'etat

Coup d’Etat in Thailand! Two months ago, in the evening of 19th September 2006, the tanks and soldiers were moving to Bangkok. On the road which toward to Bangkok, the army moved slowly and controlled the importance place, such as Government House, The parliament and etc. Then, the army took over Mr. Thaksin. At that time, foreign newsmen were taking the photographs and now! The world already knew what happened in Thailand.

The next day, all of newspaper published situation happened last night, every Thai people knew that, they were surprised and thought violence will happen like 20 years ago. But, the situation became well and everything was changed. People brought their children to looked the tanks, took the photographs with the soldiers and it was like the festival people from everywhere wanted to see that. What the fabulous Coup d’etat of Thailand is!

What do you think about that?
Why was the constitution law torn?
Why did that situation happen in Thailand?

In my opinion, this situation is acceptable, was admired by most of Thai people. However, there are some people do not agree with Coup d'etat. Because, they believe in democratic method to solve the politic problem. You can see that way can do easily. In fact, it is very hard to do , have to use the long time and need to have many budget. That problem is very importance and fragile point. So, solving that must do in hurry, we cannot to wait the time. We should be in hurry. When the army came to take over Mr.Thaksin, Thailand was meeting with the problem of the diferrence in opinion, anti and supporter government. Thus, I agree with Coup d'etat.

According to Democracy, the constitution law is the highest law in the hierachy, the other law cannot be contrary, assigns the human basic rights and the way to solve the problem. The consitution of Thai Kingdom, assigns all about that, but there are something bad. Such as, the articles about the independent organizations, EC [ Election Commission], Constitutional Court, etc. They are elected by the commission. But, the commission is under the umbrella of the government. So, the government has the influence on that election and implicates in the independent organization. This constitution law should be torn and make the new one.

What is the separation of power? When you drive a car to go to somewhere that you want to go there, you must follow the traffic law and if you do not you will be punished by the police. This is an example that can explain you about the system of the separation of powers, the driver is the administrative power, the traffic law is written by the legislative power and the police who tell you what is your fault and you will be punished by them. But, in Thailand before Coup d'etat will happen, the house of representative was in the influence of the government. So, the driver can drive anyway and he makes the traffic law by himself. And this is a reason for Coup d'etat.
