izen, i've previously read your comments and i like it a lot. you are getting it wrong. america doesn't want other nations to adapt their version of democracy. they (the government, of course) just want to control take control of the world resources. when we talk about democracy we are talking about generic version which is fundamentally universal. however it would mould into its own form in the respective countries. scandinavian model won't work for nepal because: 1. we had that model it didn't work. 2. scandinavian countries and other countries like GB and japan look at them man they are so rich they can feed 10 kings and their families. nepal is poor so poor. money doesn't grow on trees so the royals have to paid by taxing the poor. why? 3. not only that the wealth in nepal is diveded unproportionally. i'm not just talking about personal wealth, i'm talking about public wealth. is all parts of nepal get at least fair share of the gross revenues? NO. only certain places have good roads, schools, hospitals etc primarily kathmandu. this is because of centralized government. democracy means not only having freedom of speechs ........etc but also means that every place should have thier own ruling government which will get fair share according to their revenues and will not be interfered by federal government unless it is a national crisis. 4. as long as there is monarchy it can never happen. look in the army who are in the higher ranks somebody related to the royals. who owns large businesses somebody from the royal family. contd...
