Newuser, You talk like George Bush, "If you hate Maoists, you most be King's loyalists." I don't like Kings either, nor do I like the leaders of political parties which we have seen in the last 14 years. What do you mean by, "Don't blame Maoists"? What exactly have I blamed them for besides their own action. I am not blaming them for the situation Nepal is right now. I am only holding them responsible for their actions. In fact, I blame the monarchy and the political leaders for Nepal's current situation; I blame them for creating Maoists indirectly. I blame Maoists, King and the political leaders for their irresponsible actions that have hurt nepalese. But that being all said, I do hold each and every maoist responsible for his/her action, for the murders, totured, and the pain he/she caused to the innocent lives. And no I don't believe in Rumsfled, as a matter of fact, we seem to hold the same opinion about American foreign policy. I was only quoting him, with the assumption that it was in fact the terrorists on the other end of negotiating table.
