Sailesh Tiwari aka Brook ji, Did you hear the report of the RNA shooting at protesting students at Pokhara ? The moral basis of the argument of giving a chance, benefit of doubts etc is the assumption that it will hurt nobody. If the London School of Economics did not teach you what it means, then let me explain you. The argument of giving Gyanendra a chance makes only sense when there is certainty that you can persuade the whole population to be patient. This is not the case with us. What you are talking about is the case where there is a guarantee that there will be protests and very legitimate one, supported by the whole world, and also there is every indication that Gyanendra will order to shoot at the protestors. (already he did it if the report is true). Now you are not mere giving a chance to somebody in a gentleman's way, you are siding with the killer. There is something called responsibility. Are you ready to take it ? Speak now or hold your peace for ever.
