Dear standforyourrights, It seems you are one of those who have directly suffered from the King's Feb 1 move. I guess either you have loosed your job or you represent a political leader who have been stripped from power. Whatever the reason, I have sympathy for you and hope things will be better in few months. The biggest problem with you is your views are just similar to that of Sher Bahadur deuba and Sujata Koirala. And thats why people do not agree with your opinion although your voice for the restoration of democracy sounds authentic. Don't take the national agenda in personal terms. This is exactly what Deuba and Sujata have been doing. Are their foul cry for democracy valid? Not at all. Deuba cleared the way for the King's direct rule. Sujata was one of the most responsible persons for the introduction of systematic corruption in elected governments. So no one is going to listen to them or their alikes . The Nepalis are no dumbasses or morons or whatever names you give to them. They are judging the developments in their country. They don't have good leaders to lead a revolution now. So they are just waiting for the right moment to come. The leaders have no gut, they have no abilities to convince people. They are jackasses and not us. The leaders want India or the US to put them back in power. Why do you advocate for such a non-sense call? Let them at least regret for their mischieves. They have not still begged pardon for the people. They have not said sorry to the public. If they were wise enough, they would at first apologise to the Nepalese people for their misdeeds in the past 12 years when they exercised power. We know, the panchayat system was bad, and the present King and the government is bad. But we cannot acquitt the leaders by making comparision with the mandale scoundrels. We bestowed our faiths to the leaders and they betrayed us. Let them regret at first. The world is dynamic and moving forward. So Nepal cannot move behind against the motion of the world. GYanendra cannot continue this blackout on civil rights for long. The longer he wants to continue, the bigger problems will arise against monarchy in Nepal. The more he tries to suppress the people, the bigger will be the size of prodemocratic movement in Nepal. You don't have to make any wishful thinking about failed state and this and that. If you have some wisdom, if you want support for your cause, behave in a dignified manner. You are not the only one who has been stripped off of freedom. There are 26m Nepalese. So don't spill your anger against the people. It is people's power that determines the fate of the king and the leaders. Let party announce their regrets for the betrayel, let them announce the change in their inept leadership, then the people will rally behind the parties. You know what, you have got to yield public confidence in order to generate a strong protest against tyrannical rule. For that, you have got to be more calm and persuasive. If you scorn at others, they are not going to support you mate. Be cool and write your opinions in a dignified manner. I support for your cause whole heartedly and there are hundreds of others who support freedom and democracy.
