No they will only act tough against these exact same maoists when they slaughter Indians in India. They can exterminate the Nepalis though for all India seems to care.
The King's actions have been such that today even the Maoists enjoy greater support as compared to the King and its high time India needs to put an end to this nuisance. As the article says "Gyanendra's time is up". When India will come cracking its whip there will be no UN, no US nanny coming to the rescue of your King. The silent majority in Nepal thats neither on the side of the King nor on the side of thw Maoists will have their say. It is they who will form their representative National government through a democratic process.
And all your kind of elitist English speaking stooges of the dictator-King hollering for a blood bath will be on the run when common Nepalese people will reject your reign of terror.
And for the so-called "conservatives" like Tailgunner whose interests lies in seeing the larger "global war against Communism" being fought over the dead bodies of ordinary Nepalese, that the ordinary Nepalese can become mere pawns who will do his dirty work, for cheap, of fighting and dying for what is a "America's war against Communism", will see their wet dreams being spoilt by India. Thankfully deranged hawks like him arnt part of the current US administration. And little wonder common sense still prevails in the US administration and so the US is supporting India's stand on Nepal.
If King doesn't clean up his act any time soon, regardless of your hollering, India will come to clear the decks.
