Three Months After Coup, Thailand's Future Uncertain
BANGKOK, Thailand -- It was Constitution Day in Thailand on Dec.
10, and because it fell on a Sunday this year, banks, schools and
offices stayed shut Monday for a holiday, ostensibly to reflect on the
charter's importance. There's just one problem: Thailand hasn't got a
constitution any more. The much-lauded 1997
constitution, the 16th since the end of absolute monarchy in 1932, was
torn up and thrown in the trash can when the army staged its coup on
Sept. 19. Three months later, the country's future remains uncertain.
