.i do not trust the maobaadi and their agenda. case in point the latest attach in Chautara, Sindhupalchok. what was the need for that during this time of national "peaceful" (i.e. unarmed) movement? no, my friends, the most difficult aspect of the current movement remains the tricky and unenviable task of neutralizing the king AND bringing the army under civilian control. without the army, the civilians do not have any bargaining power against the armed maobaadi. and we know the maobaadi are very patient. they won't make a move when all the people are in the street. they'll wait till this subsides and then make the next move. i am not really worried about them taking over - that seems far-fetched. but even if they just decline to put down their weapons after the king is neutralized, our achievment will be halved.
