Becoz we live in America! And besides, they did play our Nepali national anthem too. We all know what ANA stands for : Association of Nepalese in America - that was a respect for a great nation that has welcomed us all foreigners & provided - all honest & hard workers - fair & equal oppurtunities to succeed. I dont think they did anything wrong by playing the US national anthem ahead of our Nepali anthem & certainly dont this this is an issue worth discussing.
