Newuser, You wrote, "They can't set fire on Gyanendra's Palace, so they will seek revenge by burning one of ours home." So should we excuse the Maoists? And you also wrote, "If the King tries to crush them militarily, the next day the Maoists may burn down Ghampani's home." So is that right? If Maoists are fighting for general public like me or other nepalese, should they torture me or other nepalese. Isn't that ironic? If they had carried out their acts againts the ones that have put our country in the drians, then I would have admired them. But they are no more than terrorists, peolple who target innocent people for their own gain and interest. like Rumsfeld rightly said, " You don't neogtiate with terrorists," you don't excuse them either.
