bhaute, thanks. glad to know someone udnerstands what i am saying. bidhan, you are at full liberty to not trsut the maoists. and i see where that is coming from. but who would you trust? the RNA who kill civilians in prisoners and claim that these prisions committed sucide using their shoelaces? twice that happened? you would trust the RNA who killed its own member who killed 12 other innocent civilians in nagakrkot for the sake of its reputation? trust might be the wrong word....maoists are as much nepali as u and i are. every single politlcal party, belief and agenda must be given a chance. sure there might be royalists, let them come ahead and hold elections and lets see who is the most popular. if the majoirty of nepalis want the monarchy to stay, then that says it all..... giving the moasits is not gonig to solve all our problems. in fact, our crisis will be far from over, but it will at least adress the most pressing issue of our country and that is the insurgency.
