Elections can be tricky. On one hand, it is the only way one can have a democratic society. On other hand, in situations such as that of current Nepal, it can be a tougher task than climbing Mr. Sumeru. True... they were able to hold elections in such dangerous places as Kashmir, Sri Lanka, some war ravaged African nations. So that makes one think it could be possible even in Nepal. Interesting event to watch, and to learn from, would be upcoming Iraqi election later this month. Situation there is more dire than what we have in Nepal. All the world is waiting to see if Sunnis will come out to vote despite the threat of their fellow Sunni Jihadists. If the current interim government (well, Americans to be more precise) can pull off a valid election and set up a valid government in Iraq, that just bolsters the argument that election is possible in Nepal. The keyword being "possible", that is.
