Here's a story about the regime that is seizing drug patents in Thailand. It's clear to me that the junta is taking a page from Hugo Chavez and trying to win support internationally from NGO's and liberal Dems event as popular support at home plummets. As soon as the junta, which has suppressed political freedoms and individual liberties, announced it was taking drug patents NGOs led by Jamie Love and Dems lead by Henry Waxman applauded, ignoring the lack of democracy and bolstering the junta in the process.
