Gwajyo, Your concern over Nepal is understandable, we certainly are on the verge of a collpase and no one can save it from that if we don't act immediately. What is making the matter even worse is the fact that as an individual citizen of Nepal, little can we do at this stage to improve the condition . Our king, political parties and maoists , the so called power stations are heading towards three different poles and are not ready for reconciliation at any cost. However,personally I am optimistic that situation will eventually better in the future. Wait and see dude, by 2006 one of these is likely to happen: 1) Republic Nepal WITH maoists as one of the major political parties. 2) Mutiparty Democratic Nepal with constitutional monarchy and WITHOUT maoists. In either case, we will be in a lot better condition than we are right now. Count on me.
