Wilsonian Change of the Guard

U.S. Ambassador to the Kingdom of Nepal, His Excellency Mr. James F. Moriarty, reportedly, promotes the Wilsonian doctrine of transition to full-fledged democracy until the bitter end. While it may be argued that this is soft Wilsonianism, it still is Wilsonianism.

The Telegraph Nepal reports on the change of the guard here and here.

There is so much about the situation in Nepal that reminds us of Europe around World War One. With the Maoist threat present it is perhaps ironic that we can recall Karl Marx:

History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.

There is probably little hope that this change brings much substantial change. Her Excellency Ms. Nancy J. Powell will probably be as Wilsonian as Moriarty. It is to be hoped, however, that the next change in this regard will be substantial, with the next President of those United States, Ronald Ernest Paul.
