Not a bit of it, Thailand's politicians seem to think. Legislators have spent the past few weeks arguing obsessively and bitterly about the rights and wrongs of the coup and its long aftermath--all, apparently, in the name of "national reconciliation". The result, not unexpectedly, is not so much reconciliation as even more recrimination. National reconciliation has the laudable aim of bridging the chasm that opened up in Thai society after the coup. Politics swiftly descended into color-coded enmity, with the "red shirts" backing Mr Thaksin and the "yellow shirts" supporting the army, monarchy and, in part, the Democrat Party (DP). The cycles of protest and confrontation culminated in bloody street battles in central Bangkok in April and May 2010 between the red shirts and the police, leaving over 90 people dead.
