...color of anger, danger and protest. So it's fitting that supporters of former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, who was ousted in a 2006 coup, have chosen deep scarlet as their identifying hue. Tens of thousands of Red Shirts have thronged Bangkok's government district since March 12 in increasingly virulent demonstrations demanding that current Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva step down and hold new elections. But red is also the color of blood, and in response to Abhisit's steadfast refusal to resign, the Red Shirts decided to shed their own. As dawn broke on March 16, hundreds lined...

...patronizing comment in "Iraq's Messy Democracy" that Iraqi leaders have "not yet learned to compromise" is unworthy of TIME [March 15]. Against which standard have you measured Iraq's leaders? Obviously not that of current U.S. leaders, who have had centuries to teach them how to compromise but who still can't get it right...
