...feel about your brother Stephen's conversion to Evangelical Christianity? -Nicolas Christy, Austin, TexasIf it wasn't political, I probably wouldn't have anything to say. But the Evangelicals who say AIDS is payback for homosexuals-you don't see liberals saying Hurricane Ike is payback for the Bush family living in Texas.

Nevertheless, the basic rift between the rural poor, who support Thaksin, and the urban middle class and elite, who despise him, is only growing wider. Furthermore, another case that will reach the constitutional court in the coming months might force the dissolution of Somchai's PPP because of a vote-buying conviction against its former deputy leader.
