Making peace just like making money

Thaksin, quoted in today's Nation. Quite indicative of the man's mentality -

Thaksin declared his plans to bring peace and prosperity to Thailand and the region were the same as running a business.

“While the goal of politics is democracy, the goal of business is capitalism. Politics resides in government and business resides in companies. Politics needs groups to gain power and business needs mergers,” he said.
