political parites and or maoists are not capable of bringing about change in nepal by themselves alone. not much discussion there. so what do they do? go down to india and get their help by agreeing and promising to who knows what kind of deals down the roads and its consequences on nepal and nepali people. we have been through this route in the past, during the 1990 democracy movement and we all know how successful that ended up being.
just like the america's war on terror in iraq. the sunnis, sheiks, and kurds iraqis who wanted freedom from saddam's regime; today some of their most influential leaders are coming out and pubically admitting that iraq and the lives of iraqis was far better during saddam's era than it is now. now i know nepal is no iraq nor the institution of constitutional monarchy is no saddam's regime. point to be noted here is that, freedom, democracy, peace, whatever name you want to give brought to a nation with direct foreign involvement is bound to fail. vietnam and afghanistan are other fine examples of that. i thought us nepalis learned after 1990 that free society at the expense of india was never going to work in nepal....but i guess we are itching for yet another example.
anyways, america is in iraq for the oil and anyone else who thinks otherwise needs a reality check. so i will let the intellectuals here figure out what is at stakes for india in nepal.
jay nepal!
