Democracy? What democracy?

Confused Age is of importance in politics. Have you seen an 18 yr old politician? Political ideas comes with experience and maturity not with a trigger happy attitude that teenagers seem to possess. Anyways I agree that we should not get into personal bashing. You're the one who started it in this thread, but let's agree to not get into personal bashing and focus on the matter at hand. You have asked quite a few questions and I agree all of them are valid questions. They are the right questions on the wrong thread. I don't think you understand my point. My point is that - There are no other better alternatives than the one right now with King in power. Unless you have any other better alternatives to point to besides your fantasy utopian political democratic government, I suggest you stop going on and on like a broken record. In any case, let me try to answer your questions maybe they will provide you with some new perspectives and insights. 1. How is Gyanendra helping the country's situation? Before Gyanendra took power, the country was divided. Different political parties were pulling away the main focus from the country's development and the existing Maoist problem. The political parties were busy filling thier own selfish needs than to try to do anything for the country. NOW, instead of the governing body being a bunch of corrupted politicians who don't give a damn about the country as we have seen over the past decade, King G has centralized power to deal with the Maoist problem and country's development in a more focused way. This will definitely carve the path to betterment. (Don't ask how it's helping NOW like right NOW. It's gonna take a little time for you to see the difference but you will start to see the difference in a few months time.) 2. How will Gyanendra Bring end to Maoist Issue? As I've said, the government will now be able to focus more on the problems at hand, rather than being the PROBLEM AT HAND. Therefore King G will be able to deal with the Maoist issue better than any other options available. Your question is pretty naive at best. Nobody can bring an end to the Maoist issues. There will always be scattered maoist issues. But who's more able to deal with it? That's the question you should be asking yourself. In fact why don't you tell me who you think is equipped to END this maoist issue? - if you don't believe the King can do a better job than anyone else. 3. How is a previous smuggler and can be called a 'Daku", good for the highest position in the country? This is totally hearsay. In any case, even if this is true, it is not relevent at this time. Let's say a there was this doctor who was let's say a convicted smugler and a daku. But he's still a doctor. If you get shot, he can still perform an operation and save your life. King G is a good leader. No matter what you have heard, the fact is that King G is a good leader and he is in a position whereby he can do something positive for the country. To make positive changes he has to be in the highest position in the country. Don't tell me that you will stop an ex-convict doctor from operating your family who are in serious medical condition. Especially when there is nobody else. Ok I dont' have time to answer all of your questions right now. But I hope you get my point that OUT OF ALL AVAILABLE OPTIONS, THIS IS THE BEST OPTION FOR THE COUNTRY. Few mistakes will be made. Few rights will be withheld, but that's necessary for the long term good of the country. If you are living in the US, look at their patriot act. Extreme measures need to be taken during extreme times. And believe me Nepal is going through extreme times and if someone as powerful as the King hadn't stepped in like he did, the country would have crumbled to its core. I don't blame all the past politicians for the state of Nepal, but most of them were corrupt. Democratic multi party system was just a tool for their get-rich-quick schemes. If you haven't seen what 'democracy' has done to our country, you need to get a mental check up.
