Cheers to the Nepalis
As Nepalis are demonstrating for democracy, I am cheering them on. My regret lies in the fact that they have to face such brutal crackdown.
Forces should not be used against the citizens. I would feel sorry for the protesters to have to resort to violence that could grow into a civil war. I hope for the less violent end to their plight.
Thailand is facing a similar crisis except that we haven't got to the bloodshed stage (yet). We have the most righteous king who glues the whole country together. We only want to get rid of the most corrupt prime minister and its cronies. We look up to our king, but His Majesty usually does not intervene with politics unless things get nasty.
We cannot rely on politicians, for there are too few good ones. Our recent elections were the most disgraced chapter of democracy.
Nepali may have a better luck if their politicians are of the good kind. But I doubt that.
Politicians in underdeveloped countries are of the same species. Most are uneducated crooks and thugs who run all kinds of rings of illegal activities.
May God bless the innocent democracy-loving Nepali, and may your quest be achieved.
Update: April 25 2006, The King returns power to the people. Long Live Democracy! Enjoy your freedom, exercise your judgment, elect good people, dear Nepalis, and best wishes!!
