Democracy? What democracy?

I can relate to the moral dilema that some people are having with the current situation. But what are our choices? CPN, UML, RPP and just about every other so-called parties have had the chance to take power and change the country. And all they did was bicker amongst themselves and dug a deeper economic and polictical hole in Nepal. What we have remaining are the maoist? Com'on now Confused (and others), would you rather see Nepal under a maoist rule? To me they are far worse than the king ever could be. Communism (fascism) is a proven failed system. And if you are a advocate of democracy, there is no way you can ever accept the maoist rule. You know how many people mao killed (innocent, poor farmers)? He killed more people than hitler. How can I support anyone whose ideals matched those of a fascist dictator. At least, the king (maybe not this king) has some benovelance tied to his authority. And he has risked his crown for something! Think about it, he could've just enjoyed his royalties and private investments and just watch the country slide into oblivion. But he took a step. I'm not completely convinced of his intentions, but what other choice do we really have. So confused bro, if you are in 'dharma-sankat' then think about how bad it really could be. How many more widowed wives, orphaned children, childless mother's blood and teers is worth that 'democracy' we had?
