D1, TryAgain; Well said, and now perhaps the ASTV Management will also make an apology for it's comment!

A little forgiveness goes along way to settling disputes, especially minor ones.

It is a rare occurrence here to see a person of high stature offer a sincere apology, and in my opinion this shows that our army leader is a man of integrity and patience, and is well suited to the position that he now holds.

I hope that others in the political arena might learn from this gesture, and stop the squabbling so that Thailand can finally put the dark chapter of Mr. T behind, and move forward to a brighter and more prosperous future for all Thais, not just the few that want to control the masses.
