"But I also think that any responsible and democratically-minded Nepali's challenge is NOT to praise one side, and paint the other side as evil (you guys can do that all the time in New York and DC, but we are the ones who have to live with the mess in Nepal day in and day out . . . we are the ones whose lives are directly affected by these advarsarial relationships), but to get both sides to start talkinbg with one another, make compromises and get moving in this country that is Nepal" - Ashu I totally agree with Ashu on this one. Do not you all think we had enough? There is no way for peace without negotiated settlement involving all three parties in the conflict. Comprimise thats the mantra right now for the peace. Democracy can prevail only with peace. Cheers Ashu
