ISO and others King G supporters, Without indulgeing too much over fruitless speculations on deep uncertainties, the thought that bewilders me the most, beyond my best comprehension, is: What is the point of taking over something that He took over, and had complete control of since, 3 years ago when he first sacked Deuba in 2002? I mean, aren't 2nd Dueba government's failures a reflection of utter incompetence on the part of the King himself? Afterall, King G himself, after proclaiming sheer failure of the "democratic" governments to reign in violence, dissolved the parliament and instituted a govenernment of HIS choice, with two PMs in 3 years. So, in light of the fact that the past three years have heralded NO progress towards peace, development and democracy, how are we to believe that the same King, surrounded by the same old crooks with primitive ideas about governance, would be able to fulfill his promise of healthy democratic elections (that too, with peace at last!) in the next three years? Well, I suppose we can debate unendingly about whether the move was right or wrong. However, the aspect that is utterly detestable, senseless to the core, is HOW he did it. I thought only old-fashioned tyrannies resorted to such extreme measures as shutting down all telecommunications in order to shove one's idea of doing the right thing down the throats of one's people. In an era when almost everything depends on phones, faxes and the internet, wouldn't he have, as a sane leader, even thought about how immense the negative effect would that have had on the country's economy? This to me only proves how SELFISH King G is! This is not to say I have supported everythign the "democratic" leaders have done thus far. They too have proven bitterly ineffective in freeing themselves from the embroiglio of demagoguery. With every senseless move King G has taken, he is also casting himself to the same basket of selfish crooks. Rise and soul search yourselves, Nepali haru!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need to find and put in place a truly visionary, politically modern, sincere to the cause of the PEOPLE,door-darshi leadership! King G is definitely not one of them!
