» Re: ''Ex-PM hardly brave to face charge'' (Postbag, Dec 16). Dom Dunn misses the mark by a wide margin when he blames former prime minister Abhisit Vejjajiva for the violence and the loss of 91 lives in downtown Bangkok. Thaksin could have called off the red shirt mobs numerous times and saved their lives before the military cracked down, but as usual, he did not do that, for selfish reasons. Indeed, human life has always been cheap for Thaksin. As for the charge that other means could have been used to clear the mob, I presume Mr Dunn meant the largely pro-Thaksin police force. Of course, being the Thaksinistas that they were, their presence was essentially useless. Their bias ultimately cost lives as well.
