Hi, My belief is that almost all the problems has an economic solution. Even terrorism. Don't jump to my throat yet...Let me finish. The extent of the ecomonic benefits required are widely different. How far can we go and how much we can offer is the question. Can we go to the extent that will satisfy Baburam or his associates ? Is the person in charge (who is in charge in Nepal now ? King ? the family killer??) is willing to or is capable of making the required change ? Do you think he even cares ? Nah !! On the other hand, I do believe that changing the system from this to that will do nothing. Look what happened when one-party system was changed to Multi-party system ? So it is a complex situation. Besides, Baburam knows that if he gets to power, it will be for a month or so...it will just collapse on its own. No international support... how can a tiny country like Nepal sustain on its own when gaints like Soviet Union has to give in ? All Baburam is doing is killing more people...just like any other criminals. Saroj
