My neighbors, bless them, just returned from the Red City where they witnessed an American on stage! (Oh, dear). The poor fellow was speaking in English -- a sure sign that he has no authority to say anything useful whatsoever about the situation. (Sorry, I'm going to be really opinionated and take the stand that if you aren't well versed in Thai, you really don't have a right to be mouthing off about this particular subject). Anyhow, his message, which was translated into Thai, was about how he wishes the UN would step in, and also about how many American weapons have been used to kill Thai people during the conflict.
The neighbors also said that there were tons of children running around the protest site, and that the mood seemed relaxed. They likened it to attending a stadium rock concert.
