Whoever mourns, the ball is in King's court! He is a man with a great ambition since a child, it reflects from his image. Everybody knows in their head ' Raja le ee chodla!'. Parties think that taking international supports and keeping Maoists along with, would be possible to overthrow the king. But Internationlly, on top of US rather supports to the King than accepting Maiost to along with Parties. King is gainming strong support from Bejing/Russina and some other countries. All times best relation wiht China is something boost of to the King. India as a big BLACK CAT always wants to see Nepal a small rat, so that he can play with whatever he wants ... so India is really not interested to see peace stability in Nepal. It likely seems to happen that the king will oppose to everybody for some years, he will even ready to welcome Giraja to be PM under him ... Deuba is already in Line. Parties still have to make a sensitive decision. They can not simply go with the king spitting over Maosits. They know as lfc123 says Maoists are taking some serious issues in some cases.So parties will be losers at the end. Maoists will be more aggressive as they gonna lose their cadres in the offensive strategies of the King. There will be more bloodbath ahead .... Would may come to halt if something diasters happen in the nation or strong pressures to KIng from International community/UN .. there might be a way out .... to conclude my opinions, i can imagine more terrible situations in the days ahead ..............
