» In response to the justice minister's reckless reaction to the call for harsher punishments for rape -- a popular and understandable knee-jerk reaction, given what Thais have been under for so many years -- the Post covers the relevant points well in "A barbaric misstep" (Editorial, Jan 1).

Every time I read the army's attempt to justify their need for more extremely violent weapons, I get the feeling that the main qualification necessary for the head of the army is that he needs to be extremely paranoid. Who does he think is going to attack us? The last attack on the army that I remember was some guy who rammed a tank with his taxi at or near the Royal Plaza. Is the army commander afraid that it will be a whole fleet of taxis next time?
