(62,325 posts)overthrow of their government. And it's notable that while people in the US think it's perfectly okay for OTHER COUNTRIES to overthrow elected governments, you can be sure they would be outraged at the very suggestion of it happening here.
Eg, Bush/Cheney were appointed to the WH, then lied this country into war. Yet, no sane person would have even suggested that they should overthrown in a violent coup. Because we are 'civilized' and coups and overthrowing of governments is for other people.
Thanks for searching for the truth.
We know that two US Senators met with the leader of the Sbovoda Party. What I would like to know is, did these two people know anything about them?
I also remember the support here for the Orange Revolution. But once it was over, there was no more interest in it, and it was 'on to the next'.
It might help broaden our views to actually find out what happened after that. How much corruption there was for years.
And what will happen regarding corruption now that the protesters have won especially since that was one of the main reasons for their protests.
Yanukovich wasn't the only one who was corrupt, so if this revolution was genuine, what happened in Iceland will happen in Ukraine.
We'll see, but with the country now being sold out to the IMF and World Bank, which Iceland refused to do, I don't have much faith in seeing corruption investigated. It certainly wasn't in the rest of the EU countries who have been enslaved to the IMF and World Bank.
