re: "'Don't blame army'" (BP, February 12)
Dear editor,
Behold! A shiny new meme is born this day!
But when he proclaims in his wisdom the Thai army a "sacred organization", has the army chief been more honest than intended? Their shared etymology reveals the gruesome truth: the sacred has a long history of demanding blood sacrifices; rather, the high priests, the sacerdos, lust for the blood of innocents.
