Supporters of former premier Thaksin Shinawatra shout slogans as they block the entrance of Parliament in Bangkok on December 29, 2008. A rally by thousands of protesters outside the Thai parliament building forced the government to delay Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva's maiden policy address, officials said. Satit Wonghnongtaey, minister attached to the prime minister's office, said the ruling party agreed to postpone Abhisit's speech until tomorrow. (AFP/Getty Images)
