Though I understand why, I have a difficult time reconciling myself to so much of the anger I hear. I am not a young person, nor am I naive. My time spent in Nepal was of the most wonderful time of my life. I am a follower of Jesus Christ, and I saw much more of the way I believe lived out in your people than anything I ever saw in America. The kindness shown to me and my sons was overwhelming. We walked the streets of Kathmandu daily with no fear. Though of course I don’t agree, the dedication to your gods was a wonder to behold. The devotion to family was something not seen in my country. I suspect hidden from me was the discrimination of caste, but I hope there is some understanding that one caste dies of a bullet from the army or maoist, as easily as another. Please do not think you will get rid of corruption in government. Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutley. When we were there in 2000-2001, there was an obvious trickle down effect of the prosperity coming into your country. The countryside was able to get its goods into the city, roads were being built, airports, schools, medicine and doctors were in the countryside. Yes, some were foreigners, but many were Nepali. Do I know the solution? No, but I can see it is not the King or the maoist. I understand the desire for younger leadership, but the young need the old, this is a fabric of your country. Freedom of the press, as I read during my time there must be! Do not be afraid of foreign help, and do not despise it when it comes. Of course be cautious of the strings attached, but recognize the generosity of some who love your county for its own sake. A lover of Nepal.

the real foolish, in my opinion, is the king of this country because he wants to rulled out the country by himself only.but in this modern age, it is impossible. the public become educated. they like to side by side.thus he have to understand it and leave the dogmatism
