Was Nepal more peaceful 15 years ago ? Were most Nepalese happier, more prosperous 15 years ago ? I think the answer to both the questions is YES. I feel Nepal has been heading down a slippery slope ever since we got 'OUR DEMOCRACY'. I don't blame the democratic system but the people who were incharge and who were more interested in promoting their self interest and filling their bank accounts. The reason I want to give King Gynendra a chance is maybe just maybe he has the ability and the will to bring peace and prosperity back to our country. Three years is all he is asking and three years is what I am willing to give him just as I gave the democratically elected leaders 15 years before I started speaking against their policies. I look at Pakistan and President Prevez Mussaraf as an example. He came to power by toppeling a democratically elected government and pretty much single handedly turned pakistan from a terrorist infested hellhole into a 'IMPORTANT NON-NATO ALLY' of the US. He stood up against India in the Kargil incident and though there are people who have tried to assisinate him a couple of time, most pakistani support him and are pleased with his regime and his policies. So, after 15 years I am willing to wait 3 more years to see MY COUNTRY PEACE and PROSPEROUS' Jai Nepal
