Peter,

Let me say this again, i did not call Baburam a good terrorist. I called him a good finance minister compared to other finance minsters nepal had in the past.

I am not justifying that terrorists are better because army is bad. I do not have any political alliance in Nepal. In US i like honest liberals and honest libertarians.  If any of you are able to see the whole picture of nepal without any politically affiliated glasses you will see them all the same.

Baburam has practiced terrorism to put his agenda to the people. He just happened to be good at what he did with finance ministry. Thats all. Have you ever viewed arts done by the criminals in Jail. Its sort of like that. Its unfortunate to nepal that the one who hadled the finance ministry the best had to be the terrorist and the others didnt even have the capability of what baburam did.

The other point is Nepal Army is a product of " Master and Slave" culture. The career starts from " washing boss's wives Peticoats" When the Peticoat washer gets promoted he gets his own peticoat washer. That peticoat washing culture is everywhere in Nepal Army. The same Peticoat washer officer had come to my Dad's office in 2046 to thrash him. Apparently some people from his office were talking about 2046 revolution out in the street and the Peticoat washer came to his office and called him by names, and addressed him by Ta, and talai, I was in the office at that time...and could never understand what my dad could have done wrong at that time but now i fully understand what Nepal Army is and what its made up of.
