LOL! guys, we can still talk without bragging about our degrees, major and stuffs, can't we? there's a thin line between a revolutionist and a terrorist so the "tweaking" in the analysis is not a rocket science to call prachanda a hero or a villain right away. however, i am not yet ready for either. nepali politics has still LOT to see from him before we call him a hero or a villain. he may still be neither or in-between after 5 years down the road. both of you: ImI and Maddogg want him to be called a terrorist despite of ANY good cause which he MAY do or keep doing in the future, no? well, if you don't want yourself to come out of that prejudice, then i have nothing to say.... but, if you want to give a second thought to your analysis and see that: despite all this hue and cry against maoists, the state can still hold a fair CA, and maoists can still win the violence-free election thereafter and make a powerful and positive impression for nepalese by carrying on with good work for the country to help us stand to where we left and beyond that by a great deal. then, would you still consider them terrorists and keep fighting in sajha with sour words against them in CAPS?
