Yo Turb, YEah easy to say Republic. But where the hell are you going to get the $$$ to establish the Socio-economic infrastructure ? Its very easy to talk ideologies but hard to followup on them in practicality. .with the current economic state of NEpal its not even feasible(with all the Vampires sucking the GOVT dry..where are you going to get $$$ for healthcare, pensions etc etc all those amenities Republic is supposed to provide to its members? ). I AM FAMILIAR WITH HISTORY 101 ..YES. If Rajiv Gandhi had not modernized India in the 80's India would not be where it is today(he opened up the market and let the foreign investors in LIKE MARUTI, HONDA, KAWASAKI ETC ETC). Just look at how long it took for industrial revolution to settle down(including the great depression). You think chavez is doing ok running Venezuala like a Dictator? I Like the fact that he is pissing off US with his antics(including the commie radio station.. he just is pissin off The Dubya admin). when you make nepal a republic You are going to have another moron telling you what to do like it or not. People's patience is running out. With a Republic Govt starting new afresh ..we might not see any stability in Nepal for another 10 yrs. Then by that time we will have another insurgency.. and the cycle will keep going on and on. IS that what you want ?
