Coup when country leader is out of the country

The name for this post mimics the Google tags set about the Thailand's 19th coup.  If one uses it then the article about that coup could be found very easy.  It starts like “Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra was ousted from power in a bloodless military coup on Sept. 19, 2006, while he was out of the country attending the U.N. General Assembly in New York.”

After everyone says this country start to resemble  a banana republic and everything else without the traditional American exceptionalism, one can wonder when such event like a coup will not raise eyebrow.

Our Prime Minister is in Europe now, where he is so much loved. If they keep him, then besides the Media who will miss him? The poor? The Unions?

Who knows…
