All kings have taken enough time to make Nepal a developed peaceful country... now we are the poorest in the world. The kings had 200-300 years to their credit for the effort. And mind you, just about 50 years back, Nepal was not that backward compared to the others as we are now. Now you guys are talking about giving King Gyanendra a chance. First of all we don't have to ask him for that; he grabs it like a storm. Second of all, he was having the chance before too. What has he done in the last three-four years? Nothing but craved towards more power. In other words, in the name of Maoists the king has started another loot! LET ME TELL YOU GUYS: IF ANYONE MAKES NEPAL A RICH PEACEFUL ONE, IT WON"T BE THE KING. The king will enjoy the full benefit of the nation's prosperity if it ever comes to Nepal, though... only big time! It will be a simple, honest Nepali who will, if ever, put the country in the right track.. not a king, by all means! These protests, counter-protests etc. will make sense if you are doing that in Nepal. Otherwise it is as good as what I do now in sajha.. just talking!
