» Re: "If Iran's supreme leader falls, who's next?", (World, Dec 22). Whilst I applaud the Iranian people and their courage in trying to depose the cruel, medieval ayatollahs and their stone age regime, I cannot understand why the demonstrators are calling for the restoration of the monarchy headed by Reza Pahlavi, the son of the Shah, whom they deposed in 1979.

» Re: "Backing Trump on tariffs, not on tone", (Opinion, April 17). The article by economist Chartchai Parasuk shows a rare practitioner of the dismal science who writes eloquently.

Too much Pali

» Re: "Sex, money and monkhood don't mix", (Opinion, May 12). Your columnist Sanitsuda Ekachai writes, " A monk's education focuses only on rote-learning of the ancient Pali texts, forsaking spiritual training and the goal of monkhood -- spiritual liberation." This is a point I have been stressing throughout the 18 years that I have been a monk in Thailand.
