XX Nepali, You proved my point--you stated "Do u think he needs money? He had more than Birendra before he became the King"---well..how did he get that much money? Yes, he has business interests in a variety of places but surely you are not so naive as to believe that it was his hard work and perservence that got him there--are you trying to claim that the money he earned was without use of influence and all the other resources that belonged to a Prince?..how is that any different from what you seem to hate about the Political parties? Some party leaders used what influence they had to make money and so did KG--where's the difference? As far as the supposed reform of education in Nepal is concerned, you claim that he has been working on educating the entire country..really?..how?..by helping increase the conflict and ensure that more of Nepal's children flee to India and the Gulf so that they become some one else's responsibility? As far as the security situation is concerned, you claim that we need security, therefore, the Monarchy--take time to look at the statistis of internally displaced Nepalese--there are more people fleeing their homes and more police and Army fleeing their posts because of the threats against their loves as well as that of their families--there is no security in the hills--so again, what are you talking about?! As far as this supposed sacrifice of intervention is concerned, I believe the universal understanding was that he did in fact have a choice. He could have acted like his brother and realized that the days of the Monarchy are over--it was not sacrifice on his part..it was the hallmark of a Meglomaniac.
