Gham-Pani ji ? Of course I don?t condone killing of innocent civilians. If you read what I wrote, I said that the Maoists admission of the attack on the bus is ?tantamount to war crime.? It is true that Maoists are kidnapping high school kids to serve as their foot soldiers and act as porters. How do I know? No, not from the RNA propaganda office but from personal ?experience? [present when incident happen] as well as reputed sources like the independent newspapers in Nepal and the UN. The UN has condemned LTTE-type recruitment of children by the Maoists. I also do the same. In terms of RNA?s repugnant acts, I was not talking [at least in the last piece] about their killings of innocent civilians during the heat of a battle. Nobody knows what happens in the ?fog of war.? Moreover, I don?t believe what?s coming out Deepak Gurung?s mouth. Rather I was talking about RNA personnel going into homes at night and snatching innocent people, and like David Copperfield making them disappear into the air. Such acts are also ?tantamount to war crime.? another_nepali ji ? I don?t and I won?t justify killing of innocent people in political battle but it happens. Even the so-called ?just war? has incurred civilian casualties. Remember Hiroshima and Nagasaki? Remember Dresden? What I am saying is that the Maoists movement is a political movement and their battle is political. Labeling them terrorist is too simplistic.
