Peace needs justice

Re: "Deep South needs trust", (Editorial, Sept 4).

Your editorial rightly mentioned that the southern conflict is extremely complex. Thailand needs a capable, professional veteran who has already dealt successfully with problems in the South. Bring in the right veterans who are from the South and understand Muslim culture and traditions, local dialects and are able to analyse the root causes of attacks and murders, rather than people from Bangkok who have little understanding of southern problems and are living in an ivory tower, flying planes and playing golf. It would also be an excellent idea to bring in people who share the same faith as local people.
