Democracy was dead already

Re: "A naïve view of junta's motivation" Letters, January 28.
Once again Somsak Pola ties himself in knots as he attempts to use convoluted metaphors and analogies to illustrate whatever point it is that he is actually trying to make.
One thing I do know, and it is indisputable: General Prayut Chan-o-cha did not kill democracy in Thailand, because you cannot kill something that is already dead.
But I would like to thank Khun Somsak for acknowledging my intelligence, however misguided he may believe it to be.
