    As has been pointed out to you that is where you are way off the mark with your self perception.

    You critisise the government and the PAD, true and has been acknowledged by everybody.
    But in stark contrast to that you attack and ridicule the Red and those who support them every time you get half a chance.

    Self reflection is an awkward thing as it forces you to verify your own action and that can sometimes hurt. You should try it anyway. You feel better afterwards, I promise.

    Thai money offer slammed

    BANGKOK - THE sister of an Italian photographer killed in Bangkok during this year's anti-government protests accused Thai authorities of offering money to 'close our mouths', in a letter released on Friday.

    Elisabetta Polenghi's brother Fabio was gunned down on May 19, the day of the bloody military crackdown in Bangkok that brought two months of 'Red Shirt' demonstrations to an end.

    'Certainly, the institutions in Thailand have made offers of financial compensation as you well know,' Ms Polenghi said in the letter to Somsakdi Suriyawongse, Thailand's ambassador in Rome.

    She described those offers as 'absolutely inappropriate' and said 'we believe it is an obvious attempt to close our mouths and pay back the dignity of our Fabio with a little money'.

    Polenghi was killed while working as a freelance photographer covering the protest, in which thousands of Reds brought Bangkok's retail heart to a standstill for two months with demands for snap elections.

    Days of street battles between armed troops and protesters during the April and May unrest left over 90 people dead and nearly 1,900 injured, mainly civilians. -- AFP
