Shaiva, I will really appreciate if you do not use ji with me. Some wise person said " Buerocracy is the result of inefficiency" and I kinda agree with that. If you wanna discuss just for a shake of discussion then I aint got anything to say. I would like to stress on the fact that change is possible only if majority is in the same boat. I think step by step process to complete deocracy is the best way to go for the smooth transition. You know " You have to learn to crawl before you learn to walk". People here are talking about flying before crawling. First step should be working together to set up a democratic framework which would comprimise maoists to shun violence, leaders to be transparent and give chance to clean ones, king to go back to consitution. I mean to say three way comprimise in this sense. Maoists should stop targeting the innocents. They should give up violence. I caanot take a chance of trusting them unless they give up their weapons. Anyways, my views will not make any difference. It seems no one is in mood of comprimise. HF is for peace in Nepal
