Have you guys heard of Necessary Evil? King G is a necessarry evil for Nepal. I understand that it is difficult for most people to fathom that. As newuser will recall I know how the royal family is taking advantage of Nepal. Visit http://www.sajha.com/sajha/html/OpenThread.cfm?forum=2&ThreadID=20819 I am not a one track mind like you guys. You need to broaden your horizons a little bit and become more practical instead of parroting the same imaginary political and social state. More than anything Nepal needs a leader and unfortunately there are no leaders with a broader reach besides the King, All you supporters of democracy are not wrong in your cause but only fail to be practical about it. Democracy is just not practical in Nepal. It's not going to happen. Nepali society is not democratizable at this time. They are not educated enough to know what democracy means. Lot of politicians don't give an "N" about Nepal they are all submerged in their own selfish needs. If your so called democracy come, who's going to be the rulers? The same old politicians who have failed so miserably time and again. The same old politicians who have amassed millions of dollars. How come you don't talk about the millions of dollars worth of corruptions by your democratic leaders? I have answered your question about the lavishes and luxuries of the King. I know it's not right and I hope it is stopped slowly but as I said - right now it is a necessary evil and you might as well support it rather than inciting people to fight for something that may never happen. You are perched in the US inciting people of Nepal to fight against the King who is finally trying to do something positive. If your words get heard many people will die for nothing because the King is the all powerful and noone can stop him. You are a coward. If you are truthful about your belief then go to Nepal and try to make a change. Don't be hiding under George Bush's boxers and shouting gyane chor desh chor. Why don't you answer couple of the questions I have raised? 1. If your so called democracy comes in Nepal, do you think your Democracy is suddenly going to come and everything will be sunny and nice? Ok, I know what you're going to say. You're going to say it's going to take time. Ok, how long? 20 years? 40 years? 100 years? Are you sure it's going to make Nepal better than it is now? 2. You are all concerned about how King and his family are above the law and how they are taking advantage of their position. Do you think that as soon as your so called democracy comes there won't be any politicians that will take advantage their position? 3. I know you are going to say that only Kathmandu is fine but the rest of the country is not since it's controlled by the Maoists. Are you saying that after the king leaves his power and the democratic government takes over the Maoists are going to hand over thier conquests in a silver platter just because now it's the democratic government? 4. Let's say the King decides to heed your calls and steps out saying that he is done with it and doesn't want anything to do with politics. What do you think is going to happen next in Nepal? Please don't go parroting about your democracy and answer my simple questions. I think we can debate about this kind of things peacefully and in a mature way without accusing each other of being X or Y or namecalling.
