Former U.S. Ambassador to Thailand William Itoh says he is hopeful that some kind of compromise might be reached between Red Shirt protestors and the Thai government, despite Thursday's shooting of protest leader General Seh Daeng.

“I’ve always been branded an optimist about Thailand being able to deal with these kinds of issues, but I would have to say personally, this is a very, very challenging time for all of us who wish Thailand well,” he said.

In an inverview with VOA, Itoh said calling the confrontation between the protestors and the government a "class struggle" was one way of looking at it, explaining the economic divides in Thailand.
