Thailand, one of Asia’s most prosperous countries, seems determined to render itself a basket case. A military coup, imposed following the Thai constitutional court’s ouster of an elected government on spurious legal grounds, can lead only to an artificial peace.
亚洲最繁荣的国家之一泰国似乎铁了心要自断手脚。在泰国宪法法院以可疑法律依据驱逐民选政府后，军事政变只能带来人为的平衡。除非泰国军方准备充当被推翻的总理英拉（及其支持者）和反民主的曼谷精英（正在追求永久的少数派统治）之间的真诚的牵线人，否则今天的平静将让位给新的危险风暴。
