I like that you provide this list and you may be right on many of the characterizations, but Thaksin, icon of “equalizing opportunity?” Have you really drank that much of the Kool-Aid? Why is it necessary to champion this megalomaniac two-bit hoodlum thief in order to create a counter-weight to the status-quo political class that I agree are no heroes themselves?
