The Land of Smile or the Land of Violence?

Thousands of pro-government supporters rally in Bangkok November 30, 2008. Thai police on Sunday ordered thousands of anti-government protesters who have laid siege to the city's airports to disperse, banning gatherings of more than five people and warning offenders would be jailed or fined. The stakes rose as thousands of pro-government supporters also rallied in the Thai capital, their first significant show of strength since the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) launched its "final battle" on Monday to unseat the government.REUTERS/Sukree Sukplang (THAILAND)
