Pade Queen - Without making this too lengthy and assuming you are not trying to pull my leg with your question, the gist of my assertion is that support for Gyanendra appears be based around the premise that he needs to be given a chance and can be trusted with power to do the right thing for the country whereas opposition to him appears to be based largely on the grounds that he cannot be trusted with state power and will abuse it to no ends to further his own goals and ruin the country. That's my 2 cents on the politics of this take over. Nepe - I think I got your point and I am not quite sure if you were expecting me to comment on it but I think you raise a moot point and there so many ways we can slice and dice the broad division lines in Nepal today. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " A country does not have to be deemed fit for democracy; rather, it has to become fit through democracy."
