Scenes from Thailand's political turmoil
Demonstrators from the People's Alliance for Democracy (PAD) declare victory at Suvarnabhumi international airport on December 3, 2008 in Bangkok, Thailand. Today a court dissolved Thailand's top three ruling parties for electoral fraud banning the prime minister from politics for five years, bringing down a government that has faced months of protests. Deputy Prime Minister Chaowarat Chandeerakul will become the caretaker prime minister.
