Answer 2

The coup occurred according to the coup leader because the old Prime Minister Thaksin was not a good or honest leader, the country appeared to be splitting because of dissatisfying anti-Thaksin groups, apparently he did something to offend the Monarch who is still very well loved and respected. Of course this happened despite Thaksin and his party won a few elections and the fact that he was never found guilty of wrong doing. He apparently did not break a law by not paying tax from selling huge stocks.
As a result the US did not embrace the new coup group. Even though they did not fire a single shot but they were not elected.
However, they expressed that they did not want power and already appointed a new Prime Minister who is forming a new cabinet. They abolished the latest constitution and are drafting a new one and supposedly will return the power to the people. This will complete next year with a general election.
Unfortunately this coup despite ended the political crisis in Thailand between Thanksin and his opposition, it moved Thai democracy backward. The constitution and election become less meaningful. At least for now and the near future, regardless of who appears to be in charge, The Generals, Officers and people with big guns will always seem to have the final say in Thai Politics.

Answer 3

The military are still in control.
They plan to have an election within a year.
It doesn't matter whether America recognises the government or not. It's none of their business.
The coup occured because they had a very corrupt prime minister, who was working for himself and the Illuminai more than he was working for the Thai people. The American military could learn a great deal from this coup.
I got the information from friends in Thailand. I lived there for ten years.
