history has shown that no country has been successful under a dictatorship!yeah i agree too that the political parties were not up to their mark!they in fact did commit a lotta mistakes too!but that does not mean u impose a ban on political parties,press,etc ......what i believe is that democracy is a developin thing,,look at india it took them arnd 60 yrs to figure that out!so it was just 14 yrs for nepal!!!!!!what im tryin to say is there is a process for everythin ,,,,,,,,,followin the rule that power comes from the barrel of the gun is not a solution
