48. "But how does one know for sure what the Ukrainian interests are?"
How about "By holding free and fair elections?" Isn't THAT how we know what the Ukrainians want?

In Florida 2000 the protests in the streets were said to be representing the American interests. We know that those protests were supported by Baker and BushCo. It is possible the Ukrainian protests are also being supported by outside influences.

It's not "posssible" that the opposition is being supported by outside influences - we KNOW it for a fact. So what?

Unless you can show that these outside influences have done anything inappropriate in the Ukrainian elections, and you haven't, you have nothing to complain about.

And the protests aren't being supported by "Baker and BushCo". That's another of your distorted characterizations. There's a LARGE number of NGO's involved in this election. That's why they're called INTERNATIONAL observers, and not just American observers.

SO far, there isn't one aspect of this situation that you haven't caricatured.
