Nepals King Dismisses Government (moved from ATSNN)

KATMANDU, Nepal (AP) - King Gyanendra dismissed Nepal's government and imposed a state of emergency on Tuesday, cutting off his Himalayan nation from the rest of the world as telephone and Internet lines were severed, flights diverted and civil liberties severely curtailed.



What's up with this? Have we not as a world gone beyond this sort of dictatorship? Maybe I am reading to much into it...I dont think so. Let me know what you think.

He'll be under orders from the Chinese to dismiss his government.

Interesting to note that there were to be elections by spring 2005.
