<DIV>Dear TLC,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to Bonnie Brereton for drawing attention to the important article by
Nick Nostitz on the events of 7 October 2008. This was first published on
New Mandala on 11 October 2008.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>The author, Nick Nostitz, is a long-time resident of Bangkok, and he has
provided New Mandala with some other close-up accounts of recent events in
Bangkok. His post about the violence of 7 October 2008 has
generated unprecedented interest. Rapidly translated into Thai
after its initial publication, it has been reproduced on all manner of
Thai-language websites and is the subject of ongoing discussion and enquiry in
official and unofficial circles in Thailand. </DIV></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The report, and its graphic images, provide a very special perspective on
the events of 7 October 2008. TLC readers who want to see that
perspective in full, and browse the comments that have followed, should
