time to resign

iraq’s prime minister, ibrahim al-jaafari, has resigned, like he should have done long ago. white house press secretary scott mcclellan and white house chief of staff andrew card both resigned, both of which were long overdue. so... it is time for someone else to resign. who? why, none other than the king of nepal, king gyanendra. he leads a tiny little country, yet over 100,000 protestors came out to protest his rule the other day, and his troops shot 3 of these peaceful protestors dead. king guyanendra has been practicing the autocratic rule of an absolute monarch for 14 months, ever since he declared a state of emergency and dissolved parliament. every single political party, along with the maoist rebel army, are all united against him, and he has virtually no support from anyone. time is running out for the king of nepal, and if he doesn’t act soon, there is a good chance his country may become a communist stronghold. that is why he needs to resign now, and as his last act, put in place democratic elections in the very near future, and in the interim, pass rule back to the parliament that he dissolved 14 months ago. then, i suggest he leave the country a.s.a.p. and go into exile somewhere else, for his own safety. otherwise, there is a good chance he will end up dead and the communists will be in charge. the only hope for nepal is democracy, and that means no more king.
