The NY Times editors describeNepal as on the verge of becoming a failed state, and ask the U.S. to support Britain and India as they pressure the Nepalese king to accommodate the opposition:
Among the countries that supply aid amounting to 60 percent of Nepal's national budget, Britain and India have said they will not supply further military aid until the king restores democracy. The United States has failed to do so, justifying that support as part of the antiterrorism campaign. The losers are the people of Nepal, who deserve better.
We must be ever vigilant in the war against terror, but a one-dimensional approch to foreign policy will undermine all our goals, including our struggle against terror.
