Ok, will stop. Won?t post more excerpts. Anyone who did read my ramblings must be bored by this point. Must be the longest post I ever typed. Most of the demands seem reasonable! Errrrr?.And don?t understand why this conflict is ?largely ignored by International media?, when Khmer rouge and Tamil tigers guerillas whatever used to be broadcasted all over the earth. Are we so insignificant ? I feel worthless. Maybe because we don?t take ourselves seriously enough, the rest of the planet sees no reason to either. - Dear Lady Croft, Amazing piece of writing. Its pre tty well-written an d pre tty much to the point (on the mark, that is). I don't think the conflict is ignored by the international media. Just this month we have 2 articles on this issue- one on National Geographic an d one on Foreign Affairs. We are not insignificant, we ar e on top of South Asian foreign polciy of many "gr eat" powers these days. Even though we don't take ourselves se riously enough, there ar e others who take us seriosuly enogh. :-) Re garding the help being offere d to Nepal, I don't know much about it either. But I have my reasons to believe that we are still being helped, albiet covertly, to combat the insurgency. I don't know the details though. Violence is not the answer at this point. So inste a d of playi ng Lara C roft, you should play Siddartha (BTW, my profs. this Angelina jolie is hot, and I don't have any good reason to contracidt their thinking). Can I see your Student ID?
