yes, compared to most nepalis, i am well-educated and well-off financially. i'm an amrikan! and i never said multi-party democracy is the way to go for nepal either. but i strongly feel that the corrupt government, be it the king or the political parties, is the main cause of why nepal has not progressed beyond its current state. and i feel the maoists are the main cause for sending nepal's development back decades through their actions. i am not against a monarchy necessarily. but i AM against one that looks out only for itself and its aphno manchhes while the country is burning, the children are dying, and the people are screaming out. nepal is treading its way down a very scary and dangerous path. one that may lead to 1990s afghanistan or late 1970s cambodia. nepal is full of villages without men, running away from the maoists, seeking refuge from the army, or leaving the country for any opportunity that might bring their families hope. how insane and sad is it that nepalis are going to the middle east for work because it's safer there?! i honestly don't know what the best solution for nepal and the nepali people is. but i KNOW it is not the continuation of this conflict and i KNOW it is not to provide the current king with all the power. during his almost-four years in power, what good has he done for his country?!
