It is interesting to see how sat-samundra-par-based arm-chair theorists of Nepal communicate among each other while not really knowing what is going on underground. I could not resist joining in the conversation, because it feels good to butt heads with the big boys.

Big boys, there are a couple of things that need to be considered:
1. How much further loss of life are we ready to endure before we decide to stop what we are doing? As Nepalis, I mean. No politics intended.
2. Is this war worth fighting for?
3. Is this war worth resisting against?
4. What would the king do more than he has already done to stop the violence, in the event he decides to take over?
5. Isn?t that what the Maoists want him to do?
6. Every Nepali must ask herself/himself, what role can/ should I play, individually, to ease the growing pain?
7. Most of the peace activists and conflict theorists that have emerged lately must stop preaching to the choir and get real. Don?t tell those who already agree with you that peace is good and that dialogue is the only way that will solve this problem. Teach it to the so called unteachable. Are their any unteachables?
8. What are the consequences of not having an election for a constituent assembly?

Well, there are so many questions. No kidding! I will save some for later, anyway.
