"People like Nepe and Newuser (intellectual civil society) dare not to write against killers and real looters but against Ashu and IF. Charge them with whatever words that come across their brilliant brain.." Even for a casual observer like me, what pisces wrote above seems no more than just a mere cheap shot. Just because a group of bandits supports your cause doesn't mean your cause is less worthy of celebration. Virappan, for example, supported native's right in southern India, and Saddam-ese calls for self rule for Iraqis. They are legitimate demands for even those who dislike the bandits and killers like Virappan and Saddam. You guys need to check your head and the facts. RNA itself has killed a lot of innocent civilians and have apologized for that in the past. To me, RNA and the Maoists are both grossly tainted. May be the Maoists a bit more because of recent incidences. For example, if the Maoists just recently killed the campus chief in Pokhara, RNA sometimes ago killed a master (sth Koirala) and his two other younger relatives in a remote village of Khotang and apologized later for that. RNA also threw bomb at Jogimara's workers working in remote Kalikot sometimes ago because apparently RNA thought they were the Maoists or with the Maoists. (In Madi, the Maoists knew there were a bunch of RNA people in the bus!) I don't see any stark difference in these two forces. So keep your loyalty to king to yourself, and don't try to be morally more superior by supporting RNA and the king here. And if those who think what king (RNA) did didn't harm their family and so they are not going to talk against the king, their deafening silence against the backdrop of such proven atrocities of the king and his henchmen also makes them, at least, partially culpable. I mean, I guess, Hitler too didn't harm their family, nor did the Rwandan Hutus.
