Sidster – I share your sentiments: yes, let’s hope terrorism will not last long in Nepal, one way or the other. But let’s face it, these Maoist terrorist have hit their zenith – it’s all downhill from now on.

That they beat up your father certainly explains your prejudices about the army, but calling them terrorist and putting them at par with the Maoists is just plain wrong. Thankfully, the pieces are coming together and as I said earlier, it’s only a question of time before these Maoist terrorists get their just desserts. The wheels are in motion and somehow don’t think that even the babu jis will be so forgiving this time around.  And yes, I dare say, they will keep your favourite terrorist, Baburam, to the last as no doubt they have other uses for him in this endeavour – no, he’s not going to be a “Karuna”; he’s too much of lightweight for that.
