El Haddock,"As for things getting worse, it is a matter of perspective."
Huh ! I am a lil confused. he he Capn' how the hell are you going to explain to the Bhariya who is trying to put food on the table that the reason he is not able to do that ....is a matter of perspective ? he he You are being too naive about the harsh fact of reality of most Nepali people.

El Haddock," The number of killings has dramatically dropped and the country seems very likely to have polls in November or there around."
Killing has dramatically dropped yes but not ended. Women and children are still scared to go out. Its easy for you to stay here in the comforts of the western world and assume everything is happy and dandy. They have not stopped extorting money from businesses yet, they have not stpped threatening people who pose a threat to their ways and means. Its one thing to be living it and another to be refereeing it.

Dunno about Gyaney. Ahh Just dun like him as a person. For he sat on his fat ass and did nothing when he was provided with an oppertunity to do something for Nepal.

El Haddock,"Then it's two years to write the new constitution (a bit too long IMO) and then the first general elections under the constitution where I hope Gyanendra will be running for President."
That a nice assumption he he he Capn' but the truth is really really far from it. They have not even agreed in the one comin' up at the end of this yr. And yo are already painting a rosy picture of something 2 yrs down the road ? I like yer optimism but the reality is a lil projectile from it.
