Seems like Maoist will be the ultimate hero of this phase in Nepal. But don't the Maoist need to answer the 14,000 people that died in this mess. I am not talking about their justification of Kranti bina Shanti dai makhu. Will people just forget it happened and move on? How will the International community (the donor countries) look at it? What would be the difference between the current UML and the future Maoists? Is there a possibility of UML and Maoist uniting, since they seem to be heading the same path, if not these two leftist will be fighting and NC will grasp the majority. If you hear out the Maoists, they still do not seem to be just going for "constitutional referendum", seems like they don't have the bone for democratic values. How can they be trusted? What will be the fate of Nepal if they do? All these unanswered question is pretty fearful. I don't think we need the King anymore, but a better leader need to emerge from the people, otherwise what is a Republic worth with King Prachanda vs King Gyanendra. King Girija, Chote Raja Shere, Makune, they have failed us, yet they and these Maoists taking all the credit for this movement makes me more pessimist than an optimist. I think the movement can't stop now, people should be able to point fingers at all the leaders of the SPAM (seven party plus maoists).
