Maddogg,
You cannot justify by saying that if they do wrong it is ok i do the wrong.What is the difference between corrupt King and Corrupt politician?No i do not agree King has right to enjoy when country is going thru such a hard time.It was time to prove to Nepalese that he is king and he feels the pain of the poor nepalese not flying in new planes and increase salary to play poker.We all know SPAM is corrupt but You cannot justify what is wrong is wrong.
I personally think even though King could not do anything political he could have just proved he was nice person and cares for the pain and suffering of Nepalese .Nepalese wouldn't been so much against him.He did not only dug his own grave but whole Nepal.
You know in politics political stunts matters like Himani going donating money to poor.That was good .Good for royal image .why didn't they do that ?why increase his salary when govt. employees aren't getting raise.What makes that bureaucrats loyal to king?People Loyal to king?
Gaynendra is failure but Monarchy shouldn't and Nepal should not in the hands of visionless  leaders.
