If I was the King of Nepal

Would I suspend the constitution, enforce martial law and kick out the bloated, self-congratulatory bureaucrats the people elected so I could get my 78,000 man Royal Nepalese Army (of which I am the Supreme Commander, BTW- it gives me a hard on just thinking of it!) back to the job of hunting down and humiliating the Maoist rebels who have been disturbing MY country for the past eight years.

Damn straight I would. This "multi-party democracy" thing never really worked, anyway...

"Critics argue that the governmental reforms did not appreciably improve the political order because the new government was also characterized by extreme corruption bordering on kleptocracy."- from Wikipedia

Why are all the Western media and governments wringing their collective hands over this "human rights issue"? Because- it's a knee-jerk reaction to any perceived loss of "human rights" by people who aren't our enemies. I didn't see CNN, CBC, or Tony Blair getting their panties wet when the Homeland security bill was passed- or when the US military turned their little tip of Cuba into a concentration camp that even offends the sensibilities of people I have suspected of being slightly fascist...

But if someone else is giving special powers to the military to shut down radio stations, place the leaders of the political parties under house arrest and starts diverting commercial air-traffic- well then, maybe they haven't really got this democracy thing figured out...

Have a look at this man on the right:

و قد أدان كل من بوشبا كمال دهال (pushpa kamal dahal)

His name is Pushpa Kamal Dahal. His group of Maoist rebels have been involved in an "insurgency" (to use the current term in vogue) that has lead to the deaths of over 10,000 people in the last 7 years. Why? Because they want a socialist state.

Great! Why not just win an election? What's that.... not Maoist enough for you? Need a cultural revolution, do you?

Fuck you- we've got LOTS of AK-47s to go around and those discounted Russian helicopter gunships I traded for some mineral rights just arrived (courtesy of the Georgians) and they should make quick work of your "mountain fighters" once we Agent Orange the lower valleys and drive you into the arms of the Indian border patrols- who, let me assure you, are prepared to mow you down, on site, and have rigged the entire border with enough flechette anti-personnel mines to make the Korean DMZ look like Main Street at Disney Land.

Soviet made MI24 Helicopter gunship- Boxing Day sale, now 30% off!

This is what running a country is about- take notes. When push comes to shove and all you lefties are crying over "peace" and "human rights" my troops will be out there protecting the good Nepalese people. They'll be defending them with guns, jet fighters, ample amounts of napalm, and assault helicopters. If that makes some white-assed academics and liberal bleeding hearts in the West upset, I say go get your own country and let me know how that works out for you.

I can even start you out with 10,000 Maoist rebels who will soon be out of work.
