. one can be suspicious of maoist intentions without being pro-king the reality in nepal is that we do not have a 3-way tussle, as some folk would like to think the 'parties' arent relavent anymore their old leadership is corrupt and discredited there is a lack of new leadership and they dont have guns the king does and so do the maoists and once the king is toppled there will only be one army left welcome to the people's republic of nepal
