How to Quell a Demonstation
or, how to deal with communists:
KATMANDU, Nepal - Protesters demanding a return to democracy postponed a rally that had been expected to draw thousands on Saturday, after the king imposed an all-day curfew and ordered violators shot on sight.
There ain't nothing like a little Reuters' spin to go with your morning's coffee. Demanding a return to democracy? Hmmm... does this look like a symbol of democracy?
Call me crazy, but that looks like the symbol of communism, and so does this:
One person was killed and at least two wounded when security forces fired at demonstrators in Pokhara, a resort town 125 miles west of the capital, Katmandu, said Gangadhar Baral, who was among those wounded.
"We were protesting and some of us were throwing stones at the soldiers. Suddenly, the soldiers fired shots at us. One of my friends was killed instantly," Baral said. He spoke from the town's main hospital.
So. President Bush could learn a little something about dealing with communists from this.
Yeah, I said it.
