Ctal brother,

Firsy of all let me state that I am not affiliated to any party or politics. So my views come from a very different perspective.

Everything u said is correct. But I wanna add something here.

No system is without flaws.So is democracy. As far as US is concerned it is widely criticized for its misdeeds all over the world and both Obama and McCain are saying they will close the facility. US lost it's respect for everything that u stated above BUT..this is also the country where Bill Clinton was impeached, mind u he was a president in power then. Do you know who broke the news about mistreatment of prisoners..US NEWS MEDIA .Here u have to go through a process. Supreme court just ruled that the prisoners are entitled to have defence lawyers in a civil court. A slap in the face of administration.The constitution now gives equal right to people from all race, sex, and national origin..though they might not follow it..but still u can drag them to court just for insulting you. The history is tainted by slavery and Jim crow but they have come through that and that's why u have Barack Obama, a person from Kenyan origin to be running for President.

Even India, it gained independence in 1947 I think roughly when we gained the so called prajatantra in 2007. They have had their share of flaws but there system has made them go from an occupied country to a almost superpower.

China, though a communist state is nowhere like N Korea, or Cuba..it has promoted free trade and is very much democratized from thet bull dozer operation in 1990s. They have had their superpoweresque growth only after they realized change was necessary.

Every system has flaws, but the best flawed system is democracy I believe where people like us can have our opinions expressed and heard.

The way I think is what if I was a civil servant and was locked in a toilet . If I was corrupt then call police, file charge against me, and take me to court.

As far as other people from other parties are concerned like various names u just mentioned, it's a shame that noone,,news media, public and anyone has made it an issue. They roam freely on the streets of Nepal and thats a shame on us. They had one scapegoat..the King..but now he is gone so now lets focus on making those people accountable for all the corruption they did over the years by some legal process.

Noone is guilty until proven. Prove it through fair trial and then punish the guilty as per prevalent law.

A person when takes an oath as a minister has responsibilities. If he proves Mr. ghimire is wrong, and takes him to court and the court punishes him I will be the first one to applaud him. But if he acts like a cop cum lawyer cum judge, that's inexcusable. Matrika Yadav could do a lot if his intentions are right. Only if he was in his sense.
