"Here's how you win a prize for being the world's smallest man.
You send in your military to shoot innocent civilians (37 dead in Bangkok so far - 36 red shirt protesters and 1 soldier - with more than 200 injured) and then you tell people it was "terrorists dressed as soldiers" who did it.
Then, when leaders of the red shirts back down and agree to peace talks if the Thai Senate will mediate them, something they've never agreed to before, you say "Nope".
This is exactly what Abhisit Vejjajiva - the world's smallest man - said today. "Nope".
In fact, Abhisit will agree to nothing until the red shirts leave their downtown protest area (something they will never do as they don't trust Abhisit to follow through on his word). With 37 people dead, the whole city of Bangkok completely shut down, tourist numbers down to a third of what they normally are, and Thailand's economy in shatters, Abhisit will not compromise, he will not waiver in his ridiculous resolve, and he will not "Man Up". (Have you noticed how big men compromise, and little men are stubborn, stupid and, in the end, destroy everything they ever worked for - Napoleon anyone?)
So, as Bangkok continues to crumble, Abhisit Vejjajiva the only Thai prime minister to have a university degree from Oxford, England and, yet the smallest prime minister Thailand has ever had, sits and pouts. "If the game isn't under my rules, I'm not playing".
