Maddog - There is so much emotion, venom and vitriol in your writings that I can't find anything objective to address in your long reply. I am sure you are a well intended person who loves his country but if you want to talk about the future of the country in a meaningful way that is more than name-calling, and hear what the other side has to say, I'd recommend you chance tact. Otherwise if your objective is to hurl abuses at your opponents, go ahead, I don't want any part in it. If you can so much as out forward a single argument without using such judgmental terms as "bloodsuckers" etc, I am still open to talking. Dimple - I am not a big fan of Girija Koirala, Prachanda or Madhav Nepal but I am willing to give credit where it is due - even to King Gyanendra. My hyena comment was sarcasm. Politics is not about name calling for me.
