Who is running the show?

In today's Bangkok Post, the story reads - Cause was heavy rain, not mismanagement. This was proclaimed by the Governor of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand (EGAT).

In the same paper, there is an article slamming the Prime Minister of Thailand for her lack of leadership in the midst of this crisis.

It would seem that not all political sides can be right on everything. There is the real story but that may have to come out with time. I don't know what is what. I don't need to know either. I just live here. All I can see is that there is a natural disaster at play in Thailand and many people are suffering and need help. Many others live under threat of this same disaster which is still unfolding.

I do know that my boss at Bangkok Refugee Centre now has water around her house. She expects the water to come into her house soon and that it will stay there for sometime. She lives in the north of Bangkok. I know this because I just spoke with her. She is upset and I just feel for her. All this I know - real people are being flooded and they are suffering. Many other things we may not know about this flood. For now it seems all we can do is sit with the reality and help those who are suffering while their number is increasing daily. We can only deal with the daily reality for now in the midst of the crisis and the chaos that is ours. We do our best and keep up those spirits, no matter what.

In the midst of all this, there is a political story. I don't know what it is. I only hear the talk and read the stories. For now, what matters is to deal with the crisis and help the people. The political outfall can come later and someone will deserve an apology as everyone can't be all wrong or all right - can they?
