Personally speaking the Seven Party Alliance should exclude the Maoists from the political process and allow the Royal Nepal Army to finish off the rebellion. Only then can Nepal become a democratic state. It is more likeluy that the CPN (maoists) will allow the & Party Alliance to topple the king and then the armed bandits of the CP of Nepal will topple the so called democratic government and install a peoples's democracy.
I think the best one is Scent of a Woman. Robert Deniro.
The democrats are gaining no ground. If anything "they" are the ones losing it.Bo I think I did say that Democrats may gain but their gain is not propotionate to GOP's decline.
It has become common knowledge that Bush and the Bushmen are losing ground rather rapidly. Come November and the Democrats will be in a strong position in both houses. However, it will be more accurate to say that Bush is slipping due to certain fundamental policy snafus: the Democrats are gaining by default. They have hardly come up with a single sensible solution to
Thanks. I enjoyed, as usual reading your article.
how will the chinese deal with a maoist government on its border?Bonus Rating: Trolling Insightful The Chinese will not and cannot abandon the Mapists as they providetoe hold to destabalise the region. It is only a matter of time before Nepal falls to the Communist rebels.
While there may have been rulers who behaved thus, the fact is that there is no evidence that such customs existed in medieval Europe. The reason is simple: the marriages in medieval Europe took place in the Chiurch and breaking the sacremant was not something that medieval kings could do easily. The great French historian Georges Duby has writeen a great deal about medieval marriages and nowhere does he say that such pracices existed. Of course the f
The great Florentine humanist, historian and statesman Nicolo Machiavelli in his The Prince argued that a statesman must instill fear: It is better to be feared than loved. Using an animal metaphor he said it was better to be a lion than a fox. His words of wisdom should ring a bell in the minds of all those who are following the tragic events in Nepal. Right now the
what's the relationship between the cpn-maoists and the 7-party alliance? What you have said is insightful because the 7 part Alliance will eventually fally to a Communist backed putch. Right now the Maoists are supporting the call for democtracy, but once Monachy falls, within a matter of weeks if
I put up this blog more than a year back. Now my prediction is coming true.
When a President makes choices that result in the needless lose of American life and caused injuries, he needs to be held accountable. On this there is no doubt. I agree with you. The fact is that nearly 250,000 Iraqi lives have been lost and you must factor this also. The US political leadership is gui
President Bush has realised that he must do something to get going again. While I say that retired generals cannot in good conscience demand the resignation of Sec of Defence,it is another matter that the war in Iraq is a brutal, tragic war that has cost tens of thousabnds of Iraqi civilian lives and there is nor end in sight. Bush has asked two of the Bushmen to leave Scott Mcllenan and Karl Rove, from policy Czar to politics alone. Bush is l
holy baananas! we are in agreement on a subject, bless you! Compliment accepted with thanks.
Napoleon famously observed that War is too important to be left to Generals. What he meant by that is simple:Soldiers fight and die on the battlefield nd the civil political leadership makes all the strategic decisions. Secretary of State Condi Rice seems to have forgotten this piece of Napoleonic wisdom when she observed in London that a thousand tactical blunders were made, thereby blaming the military for the failure to produce results. The US leade
In spite of the few problems, JoeUser ismdoing a great job. Thanks.
This is a grey area as far as the law is concerned. File sharing is not illegal and as long as the copied DVDs are not rented out and are used for private purposes there is no harm.

Generals past and present ought not to be involved in politics. Afterall civillian control over the military is undermined when generals start posturing. I agree that the Iraq war was a brutal trgedy and Sec of Defence and his boss should be made to stand trial for their conduct like Charles Taylor, but realistically speaking that is not going to happen. We can only hope that US cuts its losses and leaves.
We see it as a necessary trade-off to remove the greater evil of Hussein, and Bahu doesn't. The regime of Saddam was in many ways an unpretty one. However, compared to what is happening now in Iraq, Saddam's regime comes off looking and smelling like roses. In fact the other day the Interior Minister of

An inspiring post. Really a great adventure. When I was at graduate school at UH, there was a supermarket called Star just a block down from Dole Street. While working on my dissertation way back in the late 1980s I got a job there at minimum wage working the "graveyard shift". I put myself through grad school doing low paying jobs and I too hold people who just wont work with yes, a touch of disdain.

It's a good thing that Iraqis have Internet access now, isn't it? They had the internet right from1996> However since sanctions imposed included fibre optic cables the spread was rather retricted.
For the past three years or so I have been reading a weblog maintained by a young Iraqi woman whose name is posted as Riverbend. She writes about Iraq and the violence in that country unleashed first by the American troops and now increaingly by the Sunni militias backed by one or the other ethnic or political or sectrian leaders. She is writing from a city where eve
