Aardvarak, if we still take maoists as Cobras and if we are determined to crush their head (King G is doing same), it will be a big mistake...We had a good chance to bring them in table and persuade them to disarm and bring them to main line while they announced truce last September.The 12 point understanding was also towards national consensus....The maoist leadership were ready to talk about their participation in multiparty democracy. Isn't it a big changes in their policy? But the government interpreted it as their weakness and intesified search of maoists in the mountains of Rolpa and killed whoever they found across... So the whole efforts of 7 parties, national and international pressures didn't work out and the maoists were compelled to get back to their business. The maoists were ready to talk in intermediation of UN or EC and keep their arms ( along with Nepal army) under supervision of UN and what could be the best start than this? What was wrong to invite them for the talk and at least make some effort ? Actually, the king and his slaves don't want the maoist issues to be solved. They want it to keep going or further deteriorate so that they can continue to sideline the parties and ultimately eliminate the political parties... The whole efforts of political parties, human right organizations, Civic Society and friendly nations to establish communication between the rebels and the government went in vain when the government did not responded the truce. So, I don't think any nations or organizations spoke or condemned the Tansen or Bhairahawa attack either..Poor soldiers and their families have been victim of the arrogance and rigidity of the King G. But it doesn't mean that the parties or organizations are tactically supporting maoists. Just the fact is that parties and the organizations have just no words to say any thing... Certainly there are bad people in the parties who have to be scanned and eliminated..but to charge political parties in the current situation will only help autocratic king. If you are a supporter of democracy, let your issue be pending here and you can re-open it, when democracy is restored.In Democracy, we will have rights to speak, demostrate and use your every rights. But in King G's rule, will we?
