I don't know, subby, being a royal in Nepal has been awfully dangerous work of late...

How to pick your country's leader:

Step 1: Ask who wants that office. Take note of everyone who raises his hand. These people are now out of the running.
Step 2: From the remaining people, put their names in a hat. Pick a name.
Step 3: If the person belonging to that name isn't retarded or has some other severe defect preventing him from acting, he's your new king/president/executor/prime minister/leader-guy. If he fails that check, go back to step 2.

Nepal? I haven't been there in months. I don't even know why I bought the place.

Wonderful. Another lot of weak-willed professional politicians yielding to the demands of rebel scum because the modern world is filled with people who lack any sort of steel.

The French and the Russians had the right way to deal with their royalty.

This scumbag king's only a couple years removed from abolishing the elected parliament and ruling as dictator. I'm not a Maoist or anything, but they're in the right on this one.

Actually that's pretty much happened with a large number of the Nepal royal family...only the guy doing the shooting was one of their own:

This what I was referring to in the boobies.

You know, something tells me that the Maoists aren't going to stop fighting until they have control of the government. I'm a bit ambivalent about this move.

birdboy, do learn how to at least type my name correctly. A few seconds of proofreading helps you immeasurably.

Secondly, if you actually bothered to read the article, you'll note that those rebels are not complying with their promises, and since the rest of the government lacks steel anyway, it'll end in a Maoist dictatorship.
