LOL! Interesting analogy there between the US and the Maoists. I think we have beaten the crap out of this topic, but the question remains whether Maoism is a "use-and-throw" ideology that the leadership can dispense of once they are in power or if they have become victims of their own propaganda and get stuck with some if not all of it. We will have to wait and see.

On a light note, has Dr Bhattarai called you yet re: the ambassadorship? LOL!. Strictly in jest (but my good wishes are always with you)
