Messing with the Nepalese? What were they THINKING?

I would predict that there will be pressure -- at least indirect -- from the Nepalese government to the British to please, Pleeeeze! -- PUH-leeeeze!! send the Gurkha Regiment to Iraq.

This would be aa GOOD THING, which is to say, a very bad thing for your typical insurgent type. Last I checked, the Gurkhas do NOT fool around. And a kukri does a really nice job at the beheading thing, if the insurgents want to keep playing that game.

And do not forget, the jihadists have also managed to mightily PO the Russians -- another ethnic group not known for overly-humane behavior during tough times.
