Bath, As you know, I do not give a shit to your rubbish talk. The same goes this time. However, you have asked a reasonable question regarding trusting the Maoists. So I will answer that one. > What makes you think they will give up their ARMS ? The democratic republic of Nepal, my friend. That's what makes me believe that they will give up their arms. In democratic republic, they will want to be a political party. And they can not be a political party unless they give up the arms. Simple as that. As long as monarchy is around, they will definitely not give up their arms, even for CA. That's for sure. The Jana-andolan has become decisively pro-democratic republic. So, there is no reason not to believe that the Maoists disarmament is realistic and not very far. If you are talking about chances of the Maoist backing off from their public and private (with SPA) commitment to democratic republic, it's next to none.
