Nepe ji, I don?t know what raw nerve my earlier post jigged to invite such wrath and nor do I wish to know but it is clear to me that you are either an ideologue of the first order or a rational thinker of the last. Whichever it is, your inability perceive realpolitik in its complicated shades of gray is legendary. You are so far out to the left that you feel unsettled and quite possibly threatened by anyone with a more moderate point of view. So much so that you are incapable of having a meaningful discussion without pushing -- through prejudice-laden means as varied as name-calling and invoking family trees -- the discussant to the other extreme. The moral responsibility you want me to bear for G?s future actions is only but an illustration of the tools you use to radicalize the views of those that don?t chant your slogans. Therefore, I refuse your invitation to take sides because either way it?s the Nepali people that are dying and I don?t think the value of lives taken away by the King?s men are in any way more or less precious than the lives that have been taken by the Maoists. Nonetheless, you do have quite a reputation here and I am glad that through your last post you?ve shown the world that you are living up to it. Bravo.
