Great Article Bhumika. You have truly spoken the 'silent minds' of majority of Nepalese. I wont be surprised if someone starts to label you as a 'royalist' or 'mandale'. But the fact always remains true and the truth wins in the end. Everyone wants peace but we need to think whether it is a short term or a long term strategy. The current strategy of the SPAM is definitely a short term in my eyes. Succumbing to the guns in fear of prolonging the fight does not seem right to me. At the same time I dont want the fight to go on. Some people are fast to question the feudal autocratic monarchy and its relevance in the modern world but the same people forget about the communists ideology and their relevance in this 21st century. Yes, I am confused whether communism is actually working in China and at the same time why is India and US against it? Do they actually execute the people as mentioned in western media? Well, we will found out soon in our own country. SPAM is now talking about taking action against the so called 'royalists' and the war criminals. Isn't that interesting when M itself is not going to be tried for war crimes? Letting all the M's go out openly extorting money in the capital city is what we have to pay as a price for freedom, is that really worth it? Shouldn't the M's laydown their arms first if they truly believe in people power? But the fact is that they know without guns, they are nothing. Besides, why would they see the need to laydown their arms, when the SPA is giving them everything they ask for? I am sure it wont be long when SPA splits into two groups Congress and Communists and the Communists will align with the M's and then as someone stated in this forum somewhere - Round 3 starts! My advance congratulations to the communists. If you have a fox in the house, would you bring a tiger and let it loose to kill the fox or vice versa?
