Peter,
Its funny how you think eliminating 300 - 400 leaders would eliminate Maoist problem in Nepal. Trust me no one is more vindictive than Nepalese. The reason why the whole non Mao villages turned into a Mao Villages is because of Army/ Girija leadership with similar thought like yours. Villagers were forced to become Mao to run away from Army harassment and torture. Don't forget that over 35% of Nepali voters voted for Maoists and if 300- 400 leaders are killed another 300 - 400 will be formed until you get rid of the whole 35%. Take an example from Middle east terrorists. US and the world has been fighting over 10 year for all they got and are still not able to win. The war is unwinnable if the most you can take (his life) from them is the least they care about.
Here is why i think your ideas are flawed. Anyone who believes in true democracy accepts the majority regardless of how wrong the majority is. That is the failure point of democracy because sometimes 51% of the population could be wrong and could be the rulers. According to your definition of democracy, its only democracy if the party you prefer wins.
Being able to address the issue and asking people to compromise is the solution not a Genocide as you wish. Genocide is never an answer. We need someone like Obama to lead the nation.
