disastrous US policy

have you read a news few months ago ? bin laden wanted to stopfighting but bush wanted to continue ????

ktm_np, why you screaming? he hehe.....first of all i thought you were talking about hydro electricy. So you mean india is so desparate for drinking water that they will buy water from nepal to quench their thirst? and irriagate their acres and acres of feild with nepal's water? FYI many rivers are flowing from nepal to india for their drinking and irriagation purposes.

sajhouser, please refer to International Policy of River, then you will get it, do you think nepal will have rights on its rivers ? no way.

I think Nepal needs a better leader who only think of Nepal and Nepali heart, a pure nationalist.

rudra prasad upadhya, I don't think you read what i wrote. China is growing like india is, but it doesn't have infrastructure. Villages in china are as rural as indian or more worse. We don't see that because our culture is closer to indians and we don't understand chinese. By saying "As China is starting to capitalize, there has been a huge disparity of cash distribution in China". I didn't mean the communism that was there was before was good. Becasue the infrastructure there is not good, the government policy is not good, people are suffering in china. But we don't see that, we only see what's in media (that only shows the big cities). The other parts of china is totally censored. One of my chinese friends said that in places in china, there isn't even enough water to take shower, no food to eat, so they are even ready to come to city and work as slaves, without taking any money. Atleast they can take shower, atleast they can have food to eat. Where as US is different, it has very good policy for their own people. Most of all, people have right to speak and demand. "USA also has a pretty big disparity in term of cash distribution, but you cannot deny that America is an economic powerhouse". USA might have cash diaprity, but it isn't as big as third world countries, that's why it's economic powerhouse. I am not denying that fact, I am only saying that US's foreign policy is not good. So to build infrastruture in nepal, there has to be good policies, like minimum wage, benefits, etc. When people start earning money they themselves can invest little amt, if not much, to develop on their own. When people are too poor, there is always bound to be problemos. Nobody mentioned about "giving-back thing" that US does for the under-avg earners in form of benefits....is that also communism? why do people scream when i talk abt giving back? i didn't say give back all and share....And let me repeat again, if US stops giving benefits, the domestic terrorism in US will rise.

ktm_np, so how does it relate to india for not having enough electricty, and water for irrigation and drinking purposes?

rudra prasad upadhya, Even if not much, money will trickle from the taxpayers. The money could have been used to develop villages, but instead, it goes into royalites pockets. In Nepal's situation, benefits can be given indirectly. By building roads etc. The money that the king spent in buying jaguar could be used to do so much in a small villages. All poors in America are not lazy bums as you mentioned. Someone who earns mininum wage and is a single parent needs benefits. But then lazy bums also take advantage of it. That's why there is no 'utopia'. How much did Bill Gates get criticized for hoarding money? Because of his wife, some knowledge about philanthropy has trickled in his head and has started giving away his wealth. I believe America grew rapidly because it won the second world war and could afford to buy big brains from all around the world. When you win the war, you get your say. I believe complete capitalism cannot exist as there needs to be some amount of balance. If there is no balance, people will be ready to even give life for money, because they won't have enough to eat. Not all people have enough brain to compete, so does that mean they deserve to die of hunger? And even if they have enough brain, in a competition, if one person wins, the other has to lose. So does that mean the one who lost deserve to die of hunger? In villages of nepal, as people start going to school and start learning, they will also learn that ktm is the land of opportunities, learn what money can buy and they start leaving their villages. As a consequence there is rise in population in ktm. So if the descision makers are not careful about developing villages, the situation in nepal is going to get more worse. India and China will ofcourse develop if they start spending their money to build their infrastructure. But so far it hasn't happended.

It seems that you don't know more than what media shows about China. The governemnt of china controls the media. Many chinese don't even know about tiananmen square event. And there are local governements in china that completely control the people and the people can't say a single word against the government. Even yahoo, google, etc were accused (by US authorities) of blocking important events in china...because of the agreement they made with the chinese governement. So if you go to china and search about "tiananmen square", you wont get what you expect to see. The chinese govt completely and absolutly control the media. The governemnt doesn't hesitate to kill whoever raises voice against them. So you can no way compare china with US in the past. And China is neither rich nor powerful enough to buy big brains like US did. Will it happen in future? I doubt, because US wont let anyhow. China is very hollow from inside. People are not even patriotic there...

karmarana, you're offtracking this thread...

US probably knows that it is less expensive to spend on welfare than to patrol their troops to track who really needs welfare and who doesn't. you didn't say anthing about the single parent issue. And because of thoese kinds of issues I believe US hasn't been able to do anything about it. In no way I meant to give free food to people in the current economic state of nepal. For nepal, benefits would be building roads. But the government has only been depending upon outside fund, when they could have attempted to do it themselves, one at a time. Yes corporation provide jobs, but they don't build roads. I don't argue with the minimum wage issue too much, because its not applicable rt now in nepal. The govt cannot track who gave how much. But it the future, it is necessary to reduce the gap between the rich and poors.....to ultimately reduce terrorism. Yes too much gap between the rich and poor increase terrorism. And only because of maoist has the SPA been urged to interrogate upon the royal hoard. So even I don't believe in communism, although, I know that prachanda is making life hard on people, I feel nepal is finally going in right direction because of him.
