"Maoists are a political force, they are not terrorists." -->Yes, agreed. On paper they are. If I change my name to Sadhu and carry a Gita under my arms and go on rampage raping women, would you call me Krishna or a freaking rapist? "... they should not be considered criminals for murduring." -->Read it again and again and again. May be I have always understood the definition of "murder" differently. "If Maoist leaders are not released now, the Maoists will not come for talks and it should be remembered that the responsibility to bring peace goes to the state not to the insurgents." -->So much for working towards bringing peace and prosperity to the nation. What is their responsibility? Oh, I forgot, they have NONE. ZILCH. You are not saying that, are you? "People always show the urgency of peace. Why does everyone want PEACE?" Urgency? Ten freaking years and close to 15000 lives and hundreds of thousands mourning families. What are people supposed to do? SLEEP OVER IT? And why? Frankly, I just shook my head and read it 5 times. Apparently, you did write "why"? Need I say more? "I believe they should, untill their demands are met and believe me all of their demands are decent.? ALL? Okay I believe you. Now please stop extortion, abduction and please do not destroy national properties, and exhort violence and murder. Just come for election, and let it be settled once and for all. "I knwo, because all of them belong to the upper class, residing in the cities and enjoying facilities of this new world." --->So most of western countries are living an upper class life. Why not spend all our energy to destroy and kill all western people? Makes sense? Thought so. However, medieval and outdated unfair system has to change. Equal oppourtunity has to be provided, equal success though, can not be achieved in charity. "What Nepal really needs now is an environemtn of equal opportunity for all and a rule of law." --->Please pinch and repeat that once again. My take has been, let Maoists have every opportunity for safe landing. Sometimes, we need to accept and work with bigger evil, to achieve even greater good. Let the ballots give the verdict, and if they win, they shall get chance to lead the nation. Enough destruction and mayhem - either ways, we as a Nepalese are losing. Now the time is oppourtune, stop extortion, abduction and murder. Go for Constiuent Assembly and let people decide. Regardless of what people decide, it should be acceptable to all parties, including non-murders Maoists. I guess that's not too much to ask for. -IndisGuise.
