#1 One of mine...one of your's. Two of mine...two of your's. I first saw this in the '70's and it's still going on. It's really just two party violence that could be reduced by a two-party system of governance.

Tibet is as much a sovereign satellite of China as Kashmir, or Georgia is of Russia. It's just that 'ruling with an iron hand' thing.

#2 Maoists are not interested in multiparty rule.

They want a people's revolution - Cambodia style.

Many high ranking Nepalese maoists are apologists for the Khmer Rouge. They seek to emulate them and claim that the evidence of genocide is just western propaganda.

Of course India won't permit this. There are a few red lines here for India - overt Chinese interference or a Maoist takeover.

This probably has to burn itself out... twenty years more of bloodshed, ten-twenty-thirty thousand dead before the maoists get tired.
