Is Ukraine what you think it is?

At the risk of being labeled a freeper or worse, I would like to direct you to a piece by Patrick Buchanan. I know he is a social neanderthal, but he is very astute regarding foreing policy.

he suggests that the protests are the creation of the west.

1. Well it is a fact that Washington backs a re-vote

and seem to back Yuschenko

and Putin backs the other guy

so the story is probably true

imagine if they can do that in the Ukraine, what they are capable of doing here?

2. He's not the only one saying that

At the Vote Fraud symposium following the rally in Columbus, the same thing was said by a couple of the speakers.

4. I found this interesting...

But, on Election Day, Yushchenko, like Kerry, lost by three, as the populous eastern Ukraine delivered the same huge margins for favorite son Yanukovich as did western Ukraine for Yushchenko.

Buchanan has been an open critic of *. I wonder why he would highlight parallels between the U.S. and the Ukraine election.

5. A worth while read indeed.

This is a very insightful piece.

6. Another interesting passage...

Are we guilty of the same gross interference in the internal affairs of Ukraine, trying to fix their election, we would consider outrageous and criminal if done to us?
