Plight of Radio Free Nepal

With the current administration feeling some satisfaction at bringing democracy to Iraq by force, I know there are several other places in the world that would welcome the U.S. help in bringing democracy to their country as well (without the pre-emptive military strike of course)... one example being Students of Nepal, who must anonymously try to get their message out. In a second press release, former Secretary General of the Nepal Student Union, Gagan Kumar Thapa, speaks without the protection of anonymity to describe the conditions that have arisen in their country over the past months, in their appeal for help by the international community. Basically, their dictator-King revoked all the citizens rights and liberties such as freedom of speech and travel, all in an effort to fight terrorism by Maoist repels. They are calling for an end of development aid to Nepal which is only fueling the corrupt government.

Just how much attention does our current administration pay to address cries for help like this in a country such as Nepal, Tibet (Students for a Free Tibet), or even further developing countries and world-wide human rights issues -- when there's not a corporate national interest at stake? I did hear that the Peace Corps have moved their people out of Nepal.
