Three months after King Gyanendra's reinstatement of Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba, whom he fired on Oct. 4, 2002, for incompetence, Nepal's political stalemate continues as civil war between Maoist revolutionaries and the royal regime takes a high toll on the country's poorest.

The truth is that the Maoists are on a U.S. watch list of "other terrorist groups.
