yes that's the sad part...we are dependent ...way too much... sometimes more than adequate... and don't forget Bush and US are being "ultra" reactive against terrorism at the moment. they think there is only one way to combat terrorism, by shooting them to death. HELL NO!!!!!! i tell you, US is asking for trouble in the long run, if not at present, if they confuse revolutionists with terrorists...the way they are doing it at the moment. they can't even imagine what will happen if tomorrow, maoists return to jungle. naxalists from india and al queda will/may support maoists and both nepal and india will be in deep deep trouble. fugger US is trying to act way too smart than needed at the moment. i won't be surprised if 9/11 is repeated...
