What do you guys think...did he shoot himself in the foot with this one?
BANGKOK (Reuters) - Thaksin Shinawatra's provocative trip to neighbouring Cambodia last week has stirred up trouble back home in Thailand, but by triggering a nationalist row, the fugitive ex-premier may get more than he bargained for.
Polls show Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's popularity has climbed as a result of his measured response to Thaksin's taunts and his handling of Cambodia's refusal to extradite him to serve a two-year prison sentence for graft.

Time will tell. Too bad the two sides cannot come to some sort of compromise for the good of the country.

Few things are scarier than someone who fervently believes he knows what is best for other people, especially when he and his group have political power.

That goes for Abhist Vejjajiva as well as for Thaksin Shinawatra and according to the opposition, Obama, too.
