Yingluck Shinawatra belongs in jail for several reasons. First she is a corrupt hand-puppet of her equally corrupt (and convicted criminal) brother, Thaksin Shinawatra. Second, she poses as being responsible for devastating, corrupt policies that have bankrupted the country and destroyed the lives of millions of farmers, all while leaving Thailands rice industry in ruins. Third, in her partys bid to cling to power, terrorist mercenaries were employed to kill men, women, and children. None of these offenses were condemned by Yingluck Shinawatra or the party she claimed to represent. So whether or not she actually made decisions (she decided nothing besides what she wore day to day, if even that) is irrelevant. She posed as someone who did, making her an accomplice. Putting her in jail will send a message to the rest of Thaksin Shinawatra and his Western backers troupe of criminals and servants. Help do the crime in whatever capacity, pay the time. More likely though, Yingluck Shinawatras imprisonment will most likely be used as a bargaining chip to drive the Shinawatra crime family further from the levers of power and influence. While not ideal, it is a realist move that could help move the country forward. When the Shinawatras have been cut down to a more manageable size, we can begin throwing them in prison like the criminals they are and where they most certainly belong. Then again, maybe there is something to learn from Egypt, who has preempted violence and foreign-backed subversion in their country by rounding up all the troublemakers at once (and killing any who resisted), trying them, and sentencing them all to death first, and allowing them to sell their souls back to humanity for redemption second. Nasty, but necessary, least Egypt suffer Syrias fate. Food for others thought. This is real and the stakes are high. Failure looks like Libya, one step from failure looks like Syria. Can any nation afford either?
