TRUST ISSUE!

ranted the fact that political parties and various sources of powers have their personal differences, I think the crux of the problem in Nepal is the lack of Trust between political parties as well as people. Listening to the Baburam bhattarai and Madhav Nepal interviews, it was disgusting to see the various powers' inability to comprehend, negotiate, manage and develop a basic level of trust amongst each other. It almost sounds like a bunch of kids quarrelling. I couldn't help but notice one of the SPA's leader's reasoning behind the accusation from the Maoists that the parties moved unilaterally in making this decision to accept the king's reccomendation. His answer, essentially was that the Maoists don't have access to the telephone so they couldn't be reached.They continously claim that this was agreed upon and that they cannot comprehend the Maoists' outcry. Baburam Bhattarai, with his childish stuborness, instead of possibly talking about a ceasefire and coming into the mainstream, says that the only thing paramount is a new constituion and dismantling of the monarchy, and the war must continue. This is the state of the country. It is clear that our leaders have no cerebral capacity to manage and resolve crisis' that evolve out of misunderstandings. If you cannot establish "Trust," the most fundamental element in building and maintaing relationships, how are you going to govern a country of 25+ million people? As much as I despise Girija and what the parties did in the 90's, the true "bone in the Filet- Mignon" in this whole ordeal seem to be the Maoists. In the end it is always the poor public who has to suffer.
