Bangkok residents: 'This is a mini-civil war'

"We Thai people never experienced this kind of situation before," said Sirinun Siripanich, the assistant secretary to the Bangkok governor. "This is like a mini-civil war."

The military operation was the government's last stand against protests that paralyzed parts of Bangkok for months, Thai officials said. At least 40 people have been killed since clashes intensified Thursday.

If CNN have people like her and Dan Rivers....then I feel sorry for C N N because nobody in Thailand will wanna watch CNN anymore....The most biased news channel. They need to get more educated people then all these illiterates who doesn't even know the background of Thailand and just write whatever comes in their mind....Or they've been paid by Thaksin??? You never know!!!

people need to get the fact straight, thais dont insult the king not because we're afraid to be arrested but its simply because we never ever want to. He is the one that developed thailand and created hundreds of projects to help the poor people in thailand. he cares for thai people like none of you will ever experienced. if you really want to see his work, just google it, educate yourself and (hopefully) you'll understand why the king is so revered.
