I for one am saddened to read that in Thailand the return to more democratic circumstances has been delayed by the death of a royal highness, and to hear that Kenya, one of the few stable democracies in Africa, is burning after a botched presidential election. I don't think it makes sense to let our government decide on which critical international event deserves a "PD statement" more than any other; although if we as individuals want to discuss inter(macro)national politics, we all know how to post a rant on Wittenberg X.

Suggestions?

I doubt there'd be any delay if the people who the military junta approved of had won the elections.

Yeah, I think this just opens the door for huge fights about nothing. However, such things were actually the lifeblood of a lot of old Kingdom politics - they could feud for weeks over whether to condemn Iceland over whaling, for example.

I know my ill-guided PD over Sen. Thurmond's death gave a lot of gristle to a lot of people. :-O
