ISO, Your answers are (excuse me, don't take it personally) very rhetorical. I would have liked to see you give SPECIFIC reasons as to why King Gyanendra (individually) and the monarchy (institutionally) is capable of bringing those economic developments in order to resolve Nepali crisis. ANYTHING from his past or present that supports his claim that he will, among other things, resolve the Maoist crisis and restore democracy would be great. Pro-democracy people can also say "democracy will solve Nepal's problems by bringing economic developments". But what makes KingG different from anyone else that you should have such unquestionable faith in him? Add to the list of questions above: 5. What makes you believe KingG's heir is going to make a good king as well?
