M5: I can relate to your sentiments in the above post. I feel the same way. Since nothing was helping, I tried to avoid Nepalese Politics altogether........But, having seen so much going around, one can ignore only so much...... The truth of the matter is, Our Politicians do not care what happens....as long as they can get what they want....I think these types of controversies actually helps our corrupt politicians......They are in power, largely because of thesetypes of misleading fights where no one is the winner.........Wish they could comprehend this a little bit...These politicians and their underground so called fighters will keep "Milking" our Country...as long as they can...and they find their way to hide....be it underground, or in India, China or any other country.......Its such a disgrace that there is no one for you and I to turn on to to lay our confidence in getting this turn around........Congress can't do it.....UML....they are not even a political party....as they have no real leader, Maoisit.....all they know is Guns...fear and otherwise...and Let's not even talk about the King or RPP...or any other parties.......All they did was raped our country...and left her upside down............................................... Like you said, Call me pessimistic, but show me some optimism......Its been a mirage for far too long........The glass is indeed half-full.
