MadDog: "Thahapayen ..you seem to be neutral....but how are you saying that this man prachanda and his army understand Nepalese people.. ..........He has killed thousands..........are oyu blind deaf of just Dumb ...??? comon man..what do you see in this guy?????"" I am neither dumb nor blind. instead, you seemed to be since you are not able to catch up with the demand of time. It is definitely true that so many people had to die due to Prachanda's policies/strategies/movement, but we are at the verge of getting peace again and we can't afford any more violence and lives. and, at this particular time, i don't see any pro-monarchican or pro-parliamentarian leader having that much vision who can take the country out of this hell. Prachanda seems to be the only left who can take the country out of the continum of violence. and what i believe is that we should not discourage him and send him back to the jungle again. instead we can convince him the potentiality of democracy, in place of communism, in solving the problems that people are facing. For the sake of saving more lives, sometimes you need to compromise. You can see, in the neighboring country, Kasmiri groups are fighting to get seperated from India. But, Indian government had to release those separatists from prison (which is a kind of reward in your words) in Air India Hijacking. finally, suppose Maoists already took life of a member of your family and will take another life from your family if you don't compromise with them, since you can not stop them from other means. In this situation, do you still insist bringing the murderer to the court of justice or compromise with him to save another life?????????? I think it's better to compromise since you can save your kin's life and also punish the murderer by other means after the game of violence ends. Choice is yours!!!
