Nepal Political Parties

"These two countries [the U.S. and Great Britain] provided us generous support when we were in a great need for it and were facing unprecedented violence due to the Maoist insurgency… These two countries have been our country's major donors, long-time friends and have had a long and continuous tradition of democracy in the world. [Iraq has] precipitated the current war… [It] refused to destroy its weapons of mass destruction as required by a UN Security Council".

--Sher Bahadur Deuba, Former Prime Minister, Kathmandu, March 25, 2002
