The Maoists, however misguided in their political model, are infinitely to be preferred than the absolute rule of the Monarchy in Nepal. They have created a lot of suffering in their country which could have been alleviated long ago by the institution of democracy. Even Sadam Hussein allowed the people representation, for heaven’s sake!

Without wanting to sound like if I’m overlooking the political situation, I will still agree with Godrock that the Yak and Yeti hotel sounds cool. I should start my own hotel : the Moose and Sasquatch Hotel

The Maoists essentially control much, if not most of the country. I am very afraid Nepal might end up like a minor Cambodia. The king can’t last and in the vacuum I could see the Maoists sweeping into Katmandu. Not good.

Goodness…there is actually a place called the “Yak and Yeti Hotel”?

That’s funny.

It’s depressing knowing that humans think they are helping themselves and others when hurting someone else.

Yes, it’s bad, & I feel terrible for the people of Nepal. Gyanendra is an awful tyrant. One good thing is that while the humans are fighting one another, they are not threatening fellow species.
